http://serverfault.com – I setup a wildcard A record on my domain registrar. Now if a user access a missing subdomain on my domain, they will be redirected to the homepage. Currently my initial setup was this: <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com$1 [R] DocumentRoot /var/www <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory> # more below... </VirtualHost> Any wildcard subdomain or if my IP is entered via URL will redirect to the homepage. Can I do something about this that will redirect (HowTos)

Stories similar to redirect to 404 wildcard subdomain

I have a issue with Plesk to set the right path for a subdomain for a subdomain of a domain alias.

The structure I have:

domain.nl (Head domain)

*.domain.nl (wilcard subdomain) (points to: '/public_html/s') domain.com (alias for domain.nl)

It's not really possible to create a wildcard subdomain for the 'domain.com(alias of domain.nl) like I did for the '.domain.nl' wildcard subdomain.

possible wildcard cname setup 32 weeks 3 days ago

I'm trying to do the following:

get a cname setup so that *.subdomain.domain.com points to anotherdomain.com.

Then in the anotherdomain.com DNS, I want to look for things like one.subdomain.domain.com and point it to another server and two.subdomain.domain.com pointed to a fourth server.

Is this possible in any way?

I'm trying to setup Nginx config to auto redirect any domain/subdomain pointed(CNAME) to my static subdomain(site.domain.com) to a respective directory inside /var/www. The directory will be named after the pointed domain/subdomain. I don't want to use VirtualHost or alter/restart Nginx everytime someone add new domain.

I stumble upon this answer but I still don't quite understand.

I have a subdomain that has an SSL certificate that is working nicely. The web address for it is, lets say, like this: sd1.mydomain.com (sd1=sub-domain 1). Now I want to add a second subdomain, but it doesn't need to have the certificate encrypting the data. Thus, I want: sd2.mydomain.com

I adjusted my sites-enabled directory to have two config files, one for each subdomain.

I know this must have been answered a million times but I can't seem to get it to work

I would like to redirect a subdomain to a subdirectory.

I am currently using

server { server_name sub.domain.com; rewrite ^(.*) http://www.domain.com/sub-directory permanent; }

If I navigate to sub.domain.com I am redirected to http://www.domain.com

EDIT

Here's my full config.

I installed the Apache.

#Hide Index IndexIgnore *

#Define ErrorDoc ErrorDocument 404 http://www.domain.com

#REDIRECTS Redirect 301 /page.php http://domain.com Redirect 301 /inc/page.php http://domain.com

Options +FollowSymlinks RewriteEngine on

#Redirect all pages in a folder to a single URL RewriteRule ^dir/(.*)$ http://domain.com/index.php [L,R=301]

#Redirect String RewriteRule ^index.php?var1=value&var2=(.*)

I have a domain name set with wildcard for all subdomain (*.mydomain.com), I need of exclude a specific subdomain from this condition, I use a record dns for set wildcard and if I set a new record A for a specific subdomain it not work

I have configured Apache to load KnowledgeTree (KT) through a subdomain.

# Part of http.conf file NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName www.example.com ServerAlias example.com DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache2/htdocs </VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName knowledgetree.example.com DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/knowledgetree </Vi
