[users@httpd] Dynamic RewriteRule based on the URL

[Norman Khine <no...@khine.net>]

Hello,
Is it possible to create an Apache Rewrite rule so that the depending on
the sub-domain the server receives it is then re-written to a different
folder, for example, I have this working but want to reduce it to just
one rule:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName  folder_A.domain.tld
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://localhost:9080/folder_A/$1 [P]
    RequestHeader set X-Base-Path folder_A
    ErrorLog       /var/log/apache2/folder_A-error_log
    CustomLog      /var/log/apache2/folder_A-access_log common
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName  folder_B.domain.tld
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://localhost:9080/folder_B/$1 [P]
    RequestHeader set X-Base-Path folder_B
    ErrorLog       /var/log/apache2/folder_B-error_log
    CustomLog      /var/log/apache2/folder_B-access_log common
</VirtualHost>

etc...


So is there a nice way to reduce this to only one rule where if a
request is sent to folder_A.domain.tld the RewriteRule, RequestHandler,
ErrorLog, CustomLog entries are changed accordingly?

Perhaps something like in the line of %{SERVER_NAME}:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName  %{FOLDER_NAME}.domain.tld
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://localhost:9080/%{FOLDER_NAME}/$1 [P]
    RequestHeader set X-Base-Path %{FOLDER_NAME}
    ErrorLog       /var/log/apache2/%{FOLDER_NAME}-error_log
    CustomLog      /var/log/apache2/%{FOLDER_NAME}-access_log common
</VirtualHost>


Would this work and how would you set the %{FOLDER_NAME} if it does or is there a different approach?

Many thanks


Norman
