How can I load content from two different folders (based on the subdomain) and keep the old URLs?
My website is example.com.
In my public_html folder, I have two folders. One is called main, and the other is called report.
When somebody navigates to example.com, I want to serve content from the main folder, but I want their URL to remain the same.
So, if they navigate to example.com/file.html, I want them to see the file.html file that's in the main folder, but I don't want their URL to change to example.com/main/file.html.
Similarly, if they navigate to report.example.com/report1.pdf, I want them to see the report1.pdf file that's in the report folder, but I don't want their URL to change to report.example.com/report/report1.pdf.
The closest thing I've been able to achieve is this:
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^((?!main).*)$ /main/$1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^report.example.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^((?!report).*)$ /report/$1 [L]
That seems to work to some extent, but:
If somebody navigates to
http://example.com/report/index.html, the server incorrectly loads theindex.htmlfile from thepublic_html/reportfolder rather than thepublic_html/main/reportfolder. Normally that path would make sense, but in this case I'm trying to change that behavior.If somebody navigates to
http://report.example.com/test, the server correctly displays thepublic_html/test/index.htmlfile, but redirects them tohttp://report.example.com/report/test/.
How can I load the correct files and keep the URLs correct?
