在同一目录下针对特定域的Apache mod_rewrite

Question

I have wrote a website using PHP & Yii Framework, and there I have my .htaccess file which has this mod_rewrite statement to use clean URL's:

Options +FollowSymLinks
IndexIgnore */*

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d

RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]

For example I use this domain: www.example.com & popstan.net , and URL rewriting for these domains works like in a dream!

However, I'm now creating a blog, and with my Yii controllers I have this structure for accessing blog articles, blog categories and single blog article:

• http://example.com/blog/ - lists all new articles
• http://example.com/blog/category/some-category - list articles from specific category
• http://example.com/blog/article/some-alias-path - previews a single blog article

Now, I wish to use this blog, but under domain: http://blog.example.com/ , and to maintain those URL structures, and I wish not to copy my website on two separate directoryies (ie. blog directory).

Is it possible to use mod_rewrite to rewrite URL's for a domain, but to have the URL's be fetched from a parent directory?

Answer 1

You should simply :

1) create a blog.example.com virtual host that points to the same directory,

2) define corresponding url rules in Yii config, eg :

'http://blog.example.com/<action:\w+>/<param:\w+>'=>'/blog/<action>',
'http://blog.example.com/'=>'/blog/index',

You don't need to modify your .htaccess .
