How
to configure a sub-domain to work? |
A |
Before
the explanation, we need to remind you that sub-domain name
is an advanced fucntion. It is only recommended for advanced
users. If you are beginner, please consult more information
about sub-domain name from reference books. |
| |
And
please be noted that the sub-domain name service is an optional
service which is only available for those who had applied. |
| |
Here
are the steps: |
| |
1)
Create a folder for one of sub-domains in your root directory (ie, web) and name it as your sub domain name, and then create a file called htaccess.txt in "web" by Notepad which contains the following content:
RewriteEngine
On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^test.yourdomain.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/test/
RewriteRule (.*) /test/$1 |
Example: |
Domain Name: example.com
My Sub-domain name will be: test.example.com
Folder for the sub-domain name: test |
RewriteEngine
On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^test.example.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/test/
RewriteRule (.*) /test/$1 |
|
| |
Then
upload the htaccess.txt via FTP to the "web" directory, and
rename its file name htaccess.txt into .htaccess |
| |
All
your sub-domain name website files will be placed on the folder
you have created, on above case, the sub-domain name: test.example.com
website content should be placed on the folder called test. |
| |
Cautions: |
| |
1)
The .htaccess MUST place in the "web" directory. |
| |
2)
The syntax "RewriteEngine On" DO NOT need copy again
in further sub-domain name settings. |
| |
Now
your sub-domain name should work.
