Hello,

Sorry for disturbing, but i'm very newbie and I don't understand the rules.

My project: build a cms system for mutliple sites (thus multiple domains).

Two problems:

1) All the url should be redirected to a sinlge .asp script that will make the job with the database. Thus, for this I need to trap the typed url that will serve me to search in the db

2) the images directories should be virtually /images for all domains but physycally it has to be redirected to different physical path.

So:

any http://mydomain/path1/path2/script1.asp should be redirected to /main.asp .  main.asp should "trap" the typed url to serach into the database for a primary key = "/path1/path2/scrip1.asp"

any http://mydomain/images/logo.jpg should be redirected to http://mydomain/mydomain/images

Thanks for helping me to start

Bye

Hello,

Thanks for your quick help. The first point works fine althought I don't understand the syntax.

i hade tried : RewriteRule . /main.asp , this worked too but it looks too simple, probably this was not right

About the second point with images:

I would like to build a CMS for multiple domains but all will be listened by one only single "website" into IIS6.0. So I will not use what they call "header translation"

The problem is thus that the images folder would be mixed for all domains, which i cannot accept.

Exemple: 2 url

<img src="/images/logo.jpg">  this is written into a asp page for exemple at http://www.domain1.be/blabla.asp  (that is now perfectly rewritte)

and : <img src="/images/logo.jpg"> but this is written into http://www.domain2.be/blabla.asp

So I try to have a uri transformation on the fly in order to point to different respectives folders

in this case : the first should fetch "/images/www.domain1.be/logo.jpg" and the second should fetch "/images/www.domain3.be/logo.jpg"

So images will not be mixed between domains, and my users using the cms will have a tool to manage their images folder witjout seeing others users images.

I speak here about images but this need to work also for other "resource" : favicon (different per domain), flash objects, ...

I don't know if it is clear enought, english is not my motherlanguage.

Thanks for your help.

Hello again,

I'm back with a small question about point 1:

The redirection works fine IF the url is complete including the script name. But what about the default script per folder?

http://www.domain1.be/index.asp works fine because the rule detectes the .asp at the end

http://www.domain1.be don't work, altought in IIS the default document is index.asp

And it is the same in every sub folder.

Thanks for your help
