Hi everyone.
I'm hoping that an expert on htaccess files will be able to help me here.
I have my Web root, which has several Web sites in it, each one in a subdirectory. I would like to allow access to the directories, but only via a sub-domain. Example:
Code:
mydomain.tld/ - should resolve the "www" subdirectory.
www.mydomain.tld/ - should resolve the "www" subdirectory.
mydomain.tld/www/ - should give a 404 error, as technically, it doesn't exist.
images.mydomain.tld/ - should resolve the "images" subdirectory.
mydomain.tld/images/ - should give a 404 error, as technically, it doesn't exist.
site1.mydomain.tld/ - should resolve the "site1" subdirectory.
mydomain.tld/site1/ - should give a 404 error, as technically, it doesn't exist.
Hopefully you can see what I'm getting at. Obviously, directories within the sub-domains should be accessible via the URL, just not the subdirectories in my Web root.
I have tried learning Apache directives, but the whole thing has gone over my head. I am going to make more time to learn about them, but for the meantime, I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me with a quick fix. If someone could instead point me to an online article that will show me how to achieve this, I would appreciate just as much. I've spent a lot of time trying to find the answer to my question, and so far, I've gotten nowhere fast.
Many thanks in advance.
