Using mod_rewrite on subdomains?

[dude]

Hello all,

I hope someone can help me with this...

I have a subdomain, jobs.staff.ie

I want jobs.staff.ie to redirect to Staff - Irish Jobs - Work in Ireland

Does anyone know how I can do this?

RewriteRule ^jobs/index\.html Staff - Irish Jobs - Work in Ireland

- works fine, but it changes the URL to Staff - Irish Jobs - Work in Ireland. I want to keep the URL as jobs.staff.ie

Any help appreciated!

Thank you.

I haven't come up with a solution for you.. well not exactly...

If you could make the DirectoryIndex of the vhost to be that query string ie.

DirectoryIndex index.php?yourquerystring

And were to make the document root of the subdomain point to that...

Hey,

Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure I fully understand though...

Which file would I need to add "DirectoryIndex index.php?yourquerystring" to?

Also, when you say "make the document root of the subdomain point to that..." do you mean do a htaccess redirect?

Apologies if I'm being silly...

Thanks.

It's all in your apache config

<VirtualHost *:80>

ServerName blah.yourdomain.ie
DocumentRoot /whereyouputthefiles
DirectoryIndex somefile?query
.......
</VirtualHost>

No guarantees that it will work ...

Why not park the sub domian over main domain ?

In httpd.conf, you can add

ServerAliase jobs.staff.ie Staff - Irish Jobs - Work in Ireland

It seems forum auto convert urls, i typed www . staff. ie (with out space) and i got "Staff - Irish Jobs - Work in Ireland"
