Rewrite rule needed for subdomains

mschwab · November 3, 2009, 9:03pm

We have a lot of magento stores that work like

so a user can go into store1.domain.com/products/ and the url will stay
there

We do this in apache like

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(host)\.domain\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www)\.domain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) /magento/$1 [L]

We also have a dns catchall that will send all *.domain.com to a default
apache vhost. I’m slamming my head against the wall to get it working in
nginx to keep the hostname the same but behind the scenes rewrite the
domain for magento to parse.

Here is what I have but it just keeps appending /magento/magento/magento
to the end till it kills the loop

    if ($http_host !~ "^www.domain\.com$") {
        rewrite ^.+ http://$http_host/magento/$uri last;
        break;
    }

Thanks!

    listen 80 default;
    server_name  store1.domain.com;

    location / {
        rewrite ^   http://$host/magento/$request_uri? last;
    }

    location /magento/ {

    }

server {

    server_name  www.domain.com  host.domain.com;
    ...
}

    }
}

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name  www.domain.com  host.domain.com;
    ...
}

That works but it changes the browser URL and adds /magento/ in there
and that can’t happen

When I go to http://store1.domain.com/products/

it gets changed to http://store1.domain.com/magento/products/

I just need the /magento/index.php to parse it via the URI

Probably, you need

          rewrite ^   http://$host/magento/$request_uri? last;

          rewrite ^   /magento$uri  last;

When I do that and hit the following url

http://www.domain.com/magento/shop/by/expert

I see the following in the log

2009/11/04 13:07:38 [error] 22578#0: *1 rewrite or internal redirection

of course it will be cyclic. You put the rewrite in wrong location.
also, if ( ) is evil.
