Different directory index file domain vs. subdomain

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jun 26.2004

Is there a way to show different index pages according to whether page is accessed either via “www.domain.ext/directory/” or “www.directory.domain.ext/”?

Lets say I want to show “index.shtml” when visiting “www.domain.ext/directory/”, but I want to show “default.shtml” when visiting “www.directory.domain.ext/”.

Anyone? ?

@PeOfEoJun 26.2004 — But it is essentially the same physical and virtual directory so the same default file will be there... well here is what you do, get out your server side language and at the top of both pages run a script, say
<i>
</i>if request.ServerVariables("URL") = <a href="http://www.directory.domain.ext/">http://www.directory.domain.ext/</a> then
response.redirect("index.shtml")
end if

Then on the other put in the reverse. That code is vb... same for vb.net and script... so if you have asp or asp.net what I just wrote will work. You can do the same thing with php though, its just changeing the syntax a little, same idea though.

Problem is this server supports SSI "virtual include", but only for directories - not subdomains. So, pages accessed via subdomains doesn't work properly, unless I can come up with some sort of workaround.

I realize my initial post looks confusing since I mentioned two .shtml files. Looks like a logical loop to me with no real good answer.... :rolleyes:

BTW... Thanks you for that neat script you gave me. What is the correct syntax for it? <script></script> etc.?

Yes, PHP. ?

Still have to learn PHP include though - well, even how to write PHP pages. ?

That code I wrote above in my first post would be a server side script that would redirect the user to the correct page to do the include, but that script was vb.net/vbscript, so its asp(.net) not php... it was a work around and can easily be written with php, but if you have a server side language like php or asp you might as well just do the include in one of those to begin with.
