virtual subdomain with htaccess

Hi harmstra,

Saw your email but didn't have time to answer sooner.

The basic idea is that the rewriting of the subdomain to the directory is done from your root and that removing the index.php from the directory is done from the CI directory itself.

If we have a filesystem like this:

Code:

- http_docs (root)
| - subdomain
| | - .htaccess
| | - index.php
| - .htaccess

The .htaccess in the http_docs has the rewriting for the subdomain:

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}    ^subdomain.domain.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}  !^/subdomain/
RewriteRule (.*)            /subdomain/$1 [last]

And the .htaccess in the subdomain directory has the rewriting for the index.php file, for example:

Code:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1[QSA]
