Hi,

I am looking for a solution to have my first parameter value as a sub-domain. Let me explain you my exact requirement may be you can help me out.

my current three dynamic urls are
http://www.sitename.com/Folder/index.asp?str1=value1
http://www.sitename.com/Folder/index.asp?str1=value1&str2=Value2
http://www.sitename.com/Folder/index.asp?str1=value1&str2=Value2&str3=Value3

Now what i want
http://value1.sitename.com/Folder/
http://value1.sitename.com/Folder/Value2.html
http://value1.sitename.com/Folder/Value1/Value3.html

Hence i want to use Value1 as a subdomain and rest of the parameters as html pages. The reason to have folder is may be in future i want to create some sub-domains physically on the server and that time both will conflict, the one which i created physically and other one which i created through url re-writing.

Thanks
Yatin

RewriteCond Host: ([^.]+)\.sitename\.com
RewriteRule /Folder/(?:([^/?]+)(?:/([^/?]+))?\.html)? /Folder/index.asp\?str1=$1(?2&str2=$2(?3&str3=$3:):) [I,L]

Hi Lexey,

I copied the suggested rule by you in the httpd.ini file and then tried to open this url which supposed to be working if everything would be fine.
http://value1.sitename.com/value2/value3.html

"No web site is configured at this address" message appeared.

Do i need to create sub domain manually?

Also i have checked the IIS log file and httpd error file but nothing was there with reference to my test url that i have checked.

Few more thing:
I am using version 2.0 and my website is on shared web server. May be this will help.

Please suggest.

You either need to add value1.sitename.com to a bindings list of an IIS web site running your application or to make this web site a "default" one (i.e. add wildcard mapping to its bindings).

Hi Lexey,

As per you there are two possibilities to get desired result i.e.,
1) create sub-domains for all values that i want to be in sub-domains form.
2. Wildcard mapping - Is it at the server level or through re-write rule? please explain.

In my requirement, I want this dynamically so that what ever i pass in Value1 that will be treated as sub-domain and rest of the parameter values will work as normal. I really looking for a solution in which no need to create sub-domains at server level because that will be too hack tic for me as i am going to have more 200 sub-domains if this is possible.

Looking forward to hear that it is possible. I will be very greatful to you.

Thanks
Yatin

You need to alter IIS web site's setting (site bindings list). This could be done with the help of IIS management console (MMC snap-in).
