mod-rewrite subdomain to subdomain dir

Question

I have a bit of a problem with rewrite rules; so what I am trying to do is this;

[name].domain.com/files/ to [name].domain.com/users/[name]/files,

where [name] is sub-domain name, for instance "nick". Important part is that redirection should happened, only, if request contains sub-directory; files/.

Examples I could find on Google are examples related to sub-domain to sub-directory redirection and sub-directory to other sub-directory redirection, never combination of those two.

Try putting these rules in the .htaccess file in your document root:

RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^\.]+)\.domain\.com$ [NC] RewriteRule ^files/(.*)$ /users/%1/files/$1 [L]

I assumed that you didn't have a www in your /users/ so I added the !^www\. condition. If you do want requests for www.domain.com to go to /users/www/ then just remove that line.

Well done +1 for you... maybe QSA flag at the end of the RewriteRule (it all depends what aroma wants to do)

The query string gets appended automatically when a ? isn't present in the rule's target. If the rule's target was /users/%1/files/$1?redir=no or something, it would need a QSA.

I know, but suppose that some other URLs which have parameters after their '?' pass through this rules: their parameters are lost. So it all depends of what aroma wants to do: either be sure to drop all the parameters before and apply only then new ones, or keep the old ones and mix with the new ones.
