Hi,
We have a site that allows the user to set up their own website, and choose a custom domain.
I am currently trying to route all wildcard domains to a single controller to load their content etc.
However, using htaccess, I get a 500 error.
Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace.
r->uri = /external
redirected from r->uri = /external
redirected from r->uri = /external
I then tried to copy index.php, call it external.php and edit the $routing array to specify the controller I want to be called.
This seems to work, but does not load CSS/images etc - going to their URL just loads the page being displayed.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Chad

Not ideal, but this seems to work fine in routes.php:
if($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == "www.domain.com" || $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == "domain.com")
{
// Routes for default domain
$route['default_controller'] = "home";
} else {
// Routes for all other domains
$route['default_controller'] = "external/home";
}

perhaps you need to set the base_url as specified in this link:

I have already set the base_url() to be dynamic.
It just seems to route every request to that controller regardless of whether its css/image/js.
The way I have above works fine, it's pretty much the same as the htaccess rules!
However, doesn't explain why css etc isnt routing properly - would be good to figure out why when using $routing array in index.php (its commented out by default)
Cheers.

Why don't you route all traffic to a single controller with routing from routes.php?
I'm doing it like this (multilang site):
Code:
$route['default_controller'] = "main";
//excluding controllers from routing to main
$route['^en/dashboard/(.+)$'] = 'dashboard/$1';
$route['^en/(.+)$'] = $route['default_controller'].'/index/$1';
$route['^en$'] = $route['default_controller'].'/index/$1';
