Hi there.

In my scenario I have the following setup:

Website A: www.training-centres.co.uk
Website B: centres.training-centres.co.uk

As you can see, website A holds the main website containing general training information, and website B is a sub-domain of website A and holds lots of pages for each training centre which just shows a map.

My current situation is this:

www.training-centres.co.uk - this goes to the main site and is OK
www.training-centres.co.uk/London - this goes to the centres.training-centres.co.uk url (website B) with "London" as a querystring variable.

All that is perfectly fine and works perfectly.

What I would like to do is to keep the www.training-centres.co.uk/London url, even though technically we have jumped form website A to website B.

Is this possible to do?

I would very much appreciate any help.
Thank you, Seb

Hi Seb.
You can try this solution:
Code:
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Host} ^www\.training-centres\.co\.uk$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/London(.*)$ centres.training-centres.co.uk$1 [NC,L]

Hello, thanks for that solution but it does not work.

That ends up with a URL like centres.training-centres.co.uk/London, when what I am looking for is www.training-centres.co.uk/London (but with the content that is found at centres.training-centres.co.uk/London).

Is this at all possible?

Thank you.

Please try to use this rules:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.training-centres\.co\.uk$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(/London.*)$ http://centres.training-centres.co.uk$1 [NC,P]

Hello,

This latest rule seems to work OK, i now get:

www.training-centres.co.uk/London

(showing the content from the other server - centres.training-centres.co.uk/London) which is great!

But, does this over-ride the other server's rewrite .htaccess file? The rewrite rules on the other server don't seem to have any effect anymore - so for example these two show the same page which is wrong:

www.training-centres.co.uk/London - index.php
www.training-centres.co.uk/London/parking.html - index.php

This is the rewrite rule im using on the main site:

Code:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.training-centres\.co\.uk$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+).*$ http://centres.training-centres.co.uk/index.php?client_id=${map:$1} [NC,P]


Thanks again for your help!

Sorry, I haven't completely understood your problem. Can you please explain in more details what configs and where do you have, what each of them is supposed to do, and provide examples of initial and rewritten urls you want to obtain.

Ok sorry my fault for not explaining properly.

I have siteA.com and siteB.com.

siteA is a normal website so it has pages like:

siteA.com/aboutus.html
siteA.com/welcome.html

...but if certain city names are entered as URLs like:

siteA.com/London

...then it jumps to siteB.com/index.php?city=London

It does this using a rewrite map.

What I want is to be able to go to siteA.com/London, and show the content under siteB.com/index.php?city=London, while still keeping the siteA.com/London url.

I also need to be able to go to siteA.com/London/map.html, which in reality would really be something like siteB.com/index.php?city=london&structure_id=5

SiteA and SiteB both have their own .htaccess files containing their own rules.

Your latest suggestion worked perfectly, up to the point where i wanted to browse the pages on siteB like siteA.com/London/map.html

It seems like while the URL mask is working fine, it is ignoring the rules on siteB

Does this help explain things a bit more?

Thanks for your explanation!
So the rule works ok when you go siteA.com/London (it sends you to siteB.com/index.php?city=London), but when you are already on siteB you cannot browse it, right?
Can you please show you .htaccess for siteB and content of map file for siteB.

Yes you are correct.

Here is the .htaccess for SiteB:

Code:

# Helicon ISAPI_Rewrite configuration file
# Version 3.0.0.25


RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /


RewriteMap lower int:tolower
RewriteMap mapfile txt:centres_rewrite_map.txt
RewriteCond ${mapfile:${lower:$1}|NOT_FOUND} ^(?!NOT_FOUND)(.*)$
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ /index.php?client_id=$1


#Index
RewriteRule ^index.html$ /index.php [L]


#Learning
RewriteRule ^charlottes-test-centre-learning\.html$ /index.php?structure_id=46 [L]


And here is the rewrite map for SiteB:

Code:

aberdeen 1
ashford 2
basingstoke 3
bath 4
bishopsstortford 6
boston 7
brighton 8
london 9


Also, here is the .htaccess for SiteA:

Code:

# Helicon ISAPI_Rewrite configuration file
# Version 3.0.0.25

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

#=========================================================================
# Rewrite Rules [L]=last rule, stop execution
#=========================================================================

#-------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Rewrite Map - checks if a centre name was entered in the URL
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(/component/option,com) [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (/|\.htm|\.php|\.html|/[^.]*)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteMap map int:tolower
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^pitman-test\.propserver4\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+).*$ http://centres.pitman-test.propserver4.com/index.php?client_id=${map:$1} [NC,P]
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------

#-------------------------------------------------------------------------
# RSS Feed
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------
RewriteRule ^feed\.xml$ /scripts/rss_news_feed.php [L]

# home footer / misc
RewriteRule ^terms-conditions\.html$ terms.php [L]
RewriteRule ^privacy-policy\.html$ privacy.php [L]
RewriteRule ^our-story\.html$ our-story.php [L]
RewriteRule ^accessibility\.html$ accessibility.php [L]
RewriteRule ^sitemap\.html$ sitemap.php [L]

# Locations
RewriteRule ^centres\.html$ centres.php [L]

# News
RewriteRule ^news\.html$ news.php [L]
RewriteRule ^news/page_([0-9]+)\.html$ news.php?cur_page=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^news/page_([0-9]+)/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?(lite-site)?\.html$ news.php?cur_page=$1&safe_link=$2&lite-site=$3 [L]


Thank you so much for your help!

Could you please provide rewrite log records for the request on siteB and the testing url you are using.

Hello, sorry for the delay.

Sorry but I cannot provide the logs.

All I'm trying to do here is mask the URL of SiteB.

It doesnt seem like this is possible with this system because using your masking techniques above means that the rewrite rules of SiteB are ignored - since it still thinks we are in SiteA.

So after you get to SiteB (masked as SiteA) you want the config residing on SiteB to be applied?

Probably your problem is due to incorrect links.
By the way, is it possible to see your problem online?
