What exactly doesn't work for you? You can also check this thread for more details: Rewrite confusion - help

i have the same error (404 not found) with fabianv's.

Did you setup alias subdomains? First of all, you should set your domains so that "after.domain.com" opens your forum homepage, and only AFTER that you can start setting up vBSEO rewrite for member subdomains.

How can i set domain alias?

Oleg Ignatiuk · #20 12-15-2006, 09:39 AM

It is described in the thread I linked to in previous message. It depends on your hosting control panel software though.

I am using cpanel and i didnt find anything about setting domain alias with cpanel in the previous thread.

I believe that it should be Web Host Manager (WHM) cPanel product.

will this work the same if you have forum.site.com ?
I'd like to try
user.site.com

will it be possible with forum.site.com ?

thanks

Yes, a similar approach may be used in this case.

I use 123flashchat that lists the chatters in the format of member.php?username=$1 - what would the custom rewrite rule be to rewrite to http://[user_name].domain.com

Thanks in advance.

You can use this:

Code:

'member\.php\?username=(.+)' => 'http://$1.domain.com'

the username should be "cleaned" to be used in domain name though, so that will fail for many usernames with special characters.

thanks again Oleg

Yay, got it working.

Just one small point that will stop it working. In the CP :-

Should be :-

Code:

http://[user_name].mysite.com/

without the trailing / you get an error.

Thanks for the guide.

Hello,

This is still confusing for me, I did this:
1. Add to .htaccess:

Code:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+)\.domain\.com
RewriteRule ^$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=http://%1.domain.com/&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

Changing the domain.com for the right domain.

2. Add this to CRR:

Code:

'member\.php\?username=(.+)' => 'http://$1.domain.com'

It gives me a Error 404, and all member urls are still domain.com/membername. I use WHM/cPanel so is something I can do please let me know.

I also use vBSEO 3.1.0
