I'm trying to set up a sub domain for development on a windows server and am having problems setting the correct details in the httpd.ini file and hoped someone could help.

I have set up the subdomain

http://dev.website.com

The files that I want to use for this subdomain are on the server in a folder called development

http://www.website.com/development

in the directory structure they are in

/htdocs/development

What do I need to add the the httpd.ini file to point the http://dev.website.com to the files located in the /htdocs/development folder on the server?

I've searched for a sloution on the forum and google but nothing seemd to be working for me.

Thanks in advance for your help

Please try to use the following rules:

[ISAPI_Rewrite]
RewriteCond Host: dev\.website\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.website.com/development$1 [RP]

Thanks Anton,

That worked the first time I tried it but now its redirecting to:

http://www.development.com//

Any ideas? Its the first time i've used ISAPI rewrite so i'm a real novice with it.

You mean http://www.website.com/development// right?
Does it happen all the time now?
Do you have any other rules in the config?

No it goes to http://development.com//

There is also teh following in the file:

#RewriteRule ([^.?]+[^.?/]) http\://$1$2 [I,R]

#RewriteCond Host: (.*)
RewriteRule ([^.?]+/) http\://$1/$2 [R]
RewriteRule ([^.?]+[^.?/]) $1/ [I,L]

# Fix missing slash charachter on folders
RewriteCond Host: (.*)
RewriteRule ([^.?]+[^.?/]) http\://$1$2/ [I,R]

Will this effect the subdomain redirect ?

Thanks

- yes, it may interfere...

Could you please explain what do you use these lines for:

RewriteRule ([^.?]+/) http\://$1/$2 [R]
RewriteRule ([^.?]+[^.?/]) $1/ [I,L]

Also please tell what is the testing request you make.

I'm not sure what they do.

Ive inherited this site from someone else and this is what they added. I cant ask as they are away now for a few weeks.

what do you mean by testing request ? do you mean how i am testing that its working or a testing request from within the httpd.ini file?

"what do you mean by testing request?"
I mean, what URL do you put in the address bar to see if the rule we've written is working.

Also, please show the abstract of IIS log for this request.
