rewrite form any subdomain to media subdomain

I believe FilesMatch will not affect the rewrites in any way

I also don't understand Your needs precisely, please explain

#if request to one of those files
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.(ico|gif|jpg|jpeg|png|flv|pdf|mp3|wav|js|css|kml|xml)$
#and not media.*
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ! ^media\. [NC]
#redirect to media.*
RewriteRule .* http://media.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

but do You want media.www.domain.com, or You want the "www" stripped? Maybe You should redirect to media.%{SERVER_NAME} but %{SERVER_NAME} stripped from leading part?

"www" stripped yes

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.(ico|gif|jpg|jpeg|png|flv|pdf|mp3|wav|js|css|kml|xml)$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ! ^media\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ! ^(www\.)?(.*) [NC]
RewriteRule .* http://media.%2%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

sorry for the delay, testing now... thank you...

that just hands off a 500 error... any ideas?

Thank you Cheers
Jeremy

Anything strange in the urlbar?
Try adding

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

before rewrites

no it's a internal server error... here is what I have.. the full .htaccess file...

# BEGIN Optional settings

# Turns off directory browsing
# not absolutely essential, but keeps people from snooping around without 
# needing empty index.html files everywhere
Options -Indexes
Options +FollowSymLinks
# Deny access to config.php
# This can be useful if php ever breaks or dies
# Use with caution, this may break other functions of CMSms that use a config.php
# file.  This may also break other programs you have running under your CMSms
# install that use config.php.  You may need to add another .htaccess file to those
# directories to specifically allow config.php.
<Files "config.php">
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>

# Sets your 403 error document
# not absolutely essential to have, 
# or you may already have error pages defined elsewhere

# No sense advertising what we are running

# END Optional Settings

Can You try changing
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ! ^(www\.)?(.*) [NC]
RewriteRule .* http://media.%2%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

to
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ! ^w{0,3}\.?(.+) [NC]
RewriteRule .* http://media.%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

no luck I change it to

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.(ico|gif|jpg|jpeg|png|flv|pdf|mp3|wav|js|css|kml|xml)$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ! ^media\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ! ^w{0,3}\.?(.+) [NC]
RewriteRule .* http://media.%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

but still a 500 error..

not sure .. is it looping?

There's a bug, but it not responsible for error 500.
< RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ! ^w{0,3}\.?(.+) [NC]
should not be negated
> RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^w{0,3}\.?(.+) [NC]

I've no idea bout the 500 cause. Can You consult apache's error log?

ok the log is...
[Mon Dec 21 11:40:56 2009] [alert] [client 69.92.188.32] /var/www/vhosts/*.com/httpdocs/.htaccess: RewriteCond: bad flag delimiters

"*" is a replacement by me

Try sticking the ! to pattern (can that be so simple?)

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.(ico|gif|jpg|jpeg|png|flv|pdf|mp3|wav|js|css|kml|xml)$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^media\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^w{0,3}\.?(.+) [NC]
RewriteRule .* http://media.%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

all most.. if there is www. then it works.. it needs to work for all subdomains...

so if it was domain.com or script.domain.com

It's close I feel it now :D

> so if it was domain.com or script.domain.com
domain.com -> media.domain.com
www.domain.com -> media.domain.com
script.domain.com -> media.domain.com
anything.domain.com -> media.domain.com
Right?
Can I assume that the domain is always TLD(has one dot only)?

yes if in that list of targets then convert from

domain.com -> media.domain.com
www.domain.com -> media.domain.com
script.domain.com -> media.domain.com
anything.domain.com -> media.domain.com

on .. "Can I assume that the domain is always TLD(has one dot only)?"

um.. not sure I fallow you there.. you mean

domain.com.en ?

or
any.thing.domain.com

yes?
:D

shoot this throu it off..

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

I need to still force the www if none at all.. dang... I only had it commented to work on this.. no error but .. hmm what you think..

this is what was above in the main file... sorry about that

# force CMSMS www IN URL
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
# END CMSMS force www IN URL

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.(ico|gif|jpg|jpeg|png|flv|pdf|mp3|wav|js|css|kml|xml)$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^media\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^w{0,3}\.?(.+) [NC]
RewriteRule .* http://media.%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

I meant on "I need to still force the www if none at all.." on every page... like the html ect...

gosh :D

I was asking, if the domain.com is always the same, or same length, or same dots number? I have to match the domain itself only.

Also, You either cannot "# force CMSMS www IN URL " or we have to use if-then-else construction(to avoid infinite loop)

yes domain.com  will be the same for what it's handleing.. but this will be use on 3 sites all with different lenghts...


So if this
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

would cause a infinite loop and I think I see why (after a rewrite it runs thru the rules again?)

could it be said, if no subdomain force www
if in the target write all subdomains to media?

that I'd think wouldn't cause a loop right?

sorry for the delay
