[cobalt-users] Re: Re: .htaccess doesn't work with mod_rewrite (Kameel)

["Cobalt List" <cobalt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's more complicated, the code below does path re-writes, it's custom code 
which processes any domain ending with .auz.it and directs it to the 
folder /home/sites/site4/*domprefix*/*end path bits*

i.e: that code directs data.auz.it or www.data.auz.it to 
/home/sites/site4/data

and so on for any prefix registered in bind (or for * if wanted)...
whereas the sample you gave is megerly a url pointer, I think the problem 
lies within access.conf or srm.conf, in relation to the ability of the 
path /home/sites/site4/* to process .htaccess etc.. however this is beyond my 
capabilities, is there anyone that can help me master what I'm trying to 
achieve?

I just place this htaccess file in the root of the subdomains directory 
(created by the cobalt gui).
It seems to work quite well, haven't noticed any downstream htaccess files 
being ignored...

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/directory/$1 [P]

HTH,
