htaccess invisibly rewrite folder - php

I have multiple-domains with different content on one server in the directory /html/, which serves all domains, like example1.com, example2.com, example3.com, example4.com.
This works fine.
I now need to have 2 different(!) wordpress-installations. From the outside I would like to have:
example1.com -> No Blog
example2.com/blog/
example3.com -> No Blog
example4.com/blog/
The internal path-structure on the server should look like:
/html/
/blog-for-server2/
/blog-for-server4/
Because otherwise the content-management-system in /html/ gets messed up. In fact this is almost like having independent subdomains for the blogs and pointing them to different pathes on the server (but I don't want to use subdomains).
Any ideas?

Assuming you've already created the domains in Apache's httpd-vhosts.conf file you can create the redirects inside that, something like:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example1.com
DocumentRoot /home/servers/common_root/html
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/blog/? /blog-for-server-1
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example2.com
DocumentRoot /home/servers/common_root/html
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/blog/? /blog-for-server-2
</VirtualHost>
Otherwise you can do it in a root .htaccess but it's messy:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =example1.com
RewriteRule ^blog /blog-for-server-1
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =example2.com
RewriteRule ^blog /blog-for-server-2

redirect specific sub domain on specific folder

I have one sub domain api.example.com.
my code is on /var/www/html/ folder.
my all sub domain is redirect to /var/www/html folder.
but i want api.example.com to redirect on /var/www/html/api folder. how it is possible?
I have do some RND but not find any answer related to this.
Right now i am use a DNS for redirection. like this.
*.example.com. 14400 IN A 52.46.171.238.
It is possible using .htaccess or i have to do something with DNS records?.
If you have control over Apache server config then it is easier to do it in VirtualHost by using appropriate DocumentRoot
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName api.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/api
,,,
...
</VirtualHost>
However if you don't have control over Apache server config then do it using a rewrite rule in /var/www/html/.htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^api\. [NC]
RewriteRule !^api/ api%{REQUEST_URI} [L,NC]

php links not working in sub folder of multi site

Testing two identical folders , one placed in a Drupal install folder and the other in a plain html subfolder in
home root , only the php links for the one in CMS install work. This makes sense because Drupal has a settings php
file and .htaccess file which makes sure everything is in its proper place for links to work whether in home root or not. However I thought it would be easy enough to get the links to work in plain html subfolder with a simple rewrite
rule in the .htaccess file which exists in the php folder. Yet try as I might, nothing has worked so far.
The configuration in /etc/httpd/conf.d/my.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName drupalsite.com
ServerAlias www.drupalsite.com
ServerAdmin vps#drupalsite.com
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/drupalsite.com"
<Directory /var/www/html/drupalsite.com>
AllowOverride All
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName plainhtml.com
ServerAlias www.plainhtml.com
ServerAdmin vps#plainhtml.com
VirtualDocumentRoot "/var/www/html/plain”
</VirtualHost>
The .htaccess file in identical php folders
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /phpfolder/
RewriteRule ^c-(.*)$ catpost.php?id=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^a-(.*)-(.*)$ archives.php?month=$1&year=$2 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ viewpost.php?id=$1 [QSA,L]
So drupalsite.com/phpfolder links all work
But plainhtml.com/phpfolder links do not work
phpfolder for Drupal resides in /var/www/html and Drupal site is symlinked
phpfolder for plain html subfolder to root resides in /var/www/html/plain
Both phpfolders are owned by apache:root and all files within are owned by root:root
Have also tried changing the .htaccess rewrite rule to:
RewriteBase /
RewriteBase /plain/
RewriteBase /plain/phpfolder/
You will have to define a Directory entry with AllowOverride for:
/var/www/html/plain
<Directory /var/www/html/plain>
AllowOverrideAll
Allow from all
</Directory>
Note: If you have access to the main configuration file of the server you shouldn't be using .htaccess, configuring Rewrites or Redirects in Virtualhost is simpler. As you have already seen, using sub-files and per-dir configurations make things more complicated, not counting the overhead of apache having to constantly check those files when AllowOverride is enabled.

Redirect subdomain without changing url in htaccess

my .htaccess
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(poodle|mandy|sandy|nova|wendy) [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*$ /wendy/index.php#%1 [L]
here I am able to redirect all folders without changing url.
But when I am trying to go redirect subdomain
like
wendy.xxxxxx.com/ggsgs/sfghdsgd.html
I am getting Internal Server error.
any way I can redirect all subdomains to wendy/index.php without changing url.
Thanks.
You shouldn't manage domains redirection in .htaccess. It should be configured in apache config using VirtualHosts like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
Servername name1
ServerAlias name2
ServerAlias name3
[...]
</Virtualhost>
If you want to redirect ANY sub domain, you can use wildcard:
ServerAlias *.example.com

Redirect from subdomain to primary domain without rewriting URL

I've been searching similar solutions but none of them seems working on my server.
What I'm trying to do is set redirect from yyy.zzz.com (subdomain) to zzz.com (primary domain) without rewriting url. So both yyy.zzz.com and zzz.com actually pointing at same directory and same files in it.
Currently I have this .htaccess:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yyy\.zzz\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://zzz.com [L,NC]
Which, of course, just redirects straight on, and url actually changes.
Just for information, I want to set such subdomain url for CMS, so if user wants to enter CMS he does it from subdomain, while actually only $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] is changing.
Any help would be appreciated.
You should set up a ServerAlias in your apache config. Setting yyy.zzz.com as an alias for zzz.com
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName zzz.com
ServerAlias yyy.zzz.com
# ...
</VirtualHost>

How to serve content from different directory for sub domains

How to serve contents from different directory for virtual sub domains.
Ex: http://www.website.com gets its content from www directory.
for virtual.company.com i want to serve content from /www/application directory.
And i want to keep the url parameter same.
I have already created php files to display custom message based on the sub-domain., But i am having problems with htaccess,
In simple i just want to load content for subdomains from different directory other than the root directory.
Try this:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.company\.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.company\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /application/%1 [QSA,L]
That doesn´t sound like a very good idea as people could enter http://www.website.com/application and that might lead to unwanted results. I would recommend setting up a virtual host for virtual.company.com and separate the two.
However, it is possible and it would be something like:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^virtual\.company\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.company.com/application/$1 [R=301,L]
Setup a named virtual host.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName sub.domain.com
DocumentRoot "/path/to/sub/domain"
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName another.domain.com
DocumentRoot "/path/to/another/sub/domain"
</VirtualHost>
