[Solved] queueing of www "subdomain" Rewrites

[CB Admin]

Hello!

 

First:

 

Username: chorbrev

Domain: [www.]chorusbreviarii.org

 

We've installed a Ruby app. The direct url w/port -- http://www.chorusbreviarii.org:12408/ -- works fine, with or without the "www." ...

Also working fine, via a rewrite rule: http://chorusbreviarii.org/

 

However, nothing I've tried will get http://www.chorusbreviarii.org/ to work. Rewrite rules in any form will not match against the

form with "www".

 

Any ideas? Thanks much for any suggestions or help you can give me!

Can you post your rewrite code from your htaccess file?

byron: you can always check it out over shell

 

CB Admin: you just needed to take out the "^" from your RewriteCond line. That character in a regex anchors the match to the start of a line, thereby forcing the match to only occur on the main domain.

 

It should be working now.

Hi byron & djbob! Sorry for my slow follow-up, but thanks for the help. Yes, it's working now.

 

I didn't think of that for the RewriteCond line -- I guess I was too focused on the RewriteRule's! :-P

 

Nonetheless, I'm not sure why the rewrite rule lines given before -- which separately consider both names -- didn't work for our www. name. But now they do -- just tried. (Please see those below.) Did you do something else besides remove the caret, djbob?

 

BTW... I guess you know that cPanel's management of rewrite rules in our main .htaccess file -- at least where Ruby and your proxy server are concerned -- really seems to suck. Even aside from the placement of rules that didn't work, it would add rules at the ending of other lines -- breaking the file! -- nor would it actually delete rules previously added when commanded to do so. My only resort was to hand-edit. Perhaps my experience is not the norm; but if not, I'd sure like to know why.

 

Thanks again for your help, and TIA for any comments on the above.

 

Following, for byron's sake ;-) and for reference to the above, are my rewrite lines, with commented-out lines I had tried earlier. (I replaced for this post the actual app/proxy port number with "NNNNN".)

 

Cheers,
