Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Hosting Security and Technology : subdomains trailing slash

[HD Fanatic]

In cpanel > subdomains. I want to redirect topsites.mydomain.com to mydomain.com/topsites

I inputted mydomain.com/topsites for some odd reasons, it goes to mydomain.com
However, when I type mydomain.com/topsites/ (with a trailing slash) it goes to the its intended page. I remember I didn't have to add the trailing slash before.

Looks like a case of missing mod_dir module in apache.

mod_dir module is loaded in apache 1.3.37

If the subdomain is setup correctly you shouldn't need to forward it to /topsites as it would already be a subdirectory configured. Cpanel offers options for both topsites.yourdomain.com and yourdomain.com/topsites all within the subdomain feature.

Add/edit the following entry in its virtualhost entry.

UseCanonicalName Off

Then, restart the apache service and check the same again.

I have this setting ON before on old server, don't think it's the cause.

the subdomain is an addon domain ( forum.mydomain.com) --> /public_html/forum

I tried to remove redirection but it wouldn't work. topsites folder is in public_html/forum/topsites if I type topsites.mydomain.com it goes to /public_html/topsites/ which is a blank page.

here is the .htaccess inside /public_html/topsites/

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^topsites.mydomain.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.topsites.mydomain.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.com/topsites/$1 [R=301,L]
