Question

What I have currently:

• A wildcard DNS record. So that every subdomain points to www.galop.gr
• A dynamically (php) generated .htaccess file where I append the following code for every subdomain I want working:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^fractalbit.galop.gr$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.fractalbit.galop.gr$
RewriteRule ^/?$ http://www.galop.gr/index.php?user=1 [R=301]

Everything is working fine, I just want something more if it is possible.

Right now, if someone enters fractalbit.galop.gr will be redirected to http://www.galop.gr/index.php?user=1

Is it possible to do this BUT keep fractalbit.galop.gr to the address bar of the browser?

Answer 1

[R=301] means: do a redirection, and since you’re using an absolute address it will also force a redirection, i would just change the rules to this:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^fractalbit.galop.gr$ [OR] 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.fractalbit.galop.gr$ 
RewriteRule ^/?$ /index.php?user=1 [L]
