Re: third level domain and cakephp

I think I finally have a solution for you.

It works for me, but I have my webroot set to app/webroot/ so if you don't I'm not positive if it will work or not.

Put this block right before the existing CakePHP rewrite rules in your app/webroot/.htaccess file

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =img.corsilezioni.com

RewriteCond %{PATH_INFO} !^/img/.*

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/img/$1 [QSA,L]

</IfModule>

You'll need a block just like that for every subdomain you want to support.

All it does is redirect anything after the subdomain (as long as it doens't already start with /img/) to the ImgController.

The first RewriteCond makes the rule only active if we are on the right subdomain

The second RewriteCond makes the rule only active if we don't already have /img/ in the path

The RewriteRule mimics the default CakePHP rewrite rule, but changes the path sent to index.php to include /img/

For example:

http://img.corsilezioni.com/some_action should return the same page as:

http://corselezioni.com/img/some_action

For example, here are the relevant lines from my app/webroot/.htaccess file that I was using for testing purposes:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =test2.mydomain.com

RewriteCond %{PATH_INFO} !^/tests/.*

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/tests/$1 [QSA,L]

</IfModule>

# Direct all URLs that don't actually exist to CakePHP

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [QSA,L]

</IfModule>

The first block is the new rules I added, the second are my default CakePHP rewrite rules. With the above, I was able to visit:

http://test2.mydomain.com/

and I was served the page from http://test2.mydomain.com/tests/ (the index page of the tests controller).

Will something like that work for you?

Thanks,

Ben
