Hi Bill,

I'm using relative links. The reason I'm not using absulute is because I would have to change the php includes and css files to all absolute. I guess that's not a big deal, but it seems a bit of an overkill, or is that what you are simply supposed to do?

In regards to your last questions:

"Is there any specific reason NOT to use absolute urls for those? If you enter sub.domain.com/images/knownimage.jpg does it work? Is .htaccess on? Does Rewrite work for other things, or is this the first you've used it on this machine?"

No. If I enter sub.domain.com/images/knownimage.jpg, it does not work.

Yes, .htaccess is on.

Yes, the Rewrite's are working fine for the site.

The other thought I had, and I haven't tried this yet, was to put a second .htaccess file inside the directory that the subdomain is pointing to, and have the rewrite there. That may be the answer.

Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks,

Mark

Hi,
I'm having trouble "sharing" the same folders in the main (www.mydomain.com) domain with the sub (sub.mydomain.com) domain. Here is what is happening. I put a file in a directory as such:
http://www.mydomain.com/css/main.css
When a file that uses that css file is called within the www.mydomain.com domain, everything works great. But when I call a file that is within a subdomain such as:
http://sub.mydomain.com/index.php
that uses the main.css file above, it can't find it.

Are you using the full URL or a relative link? If sub.mydomain.com does not include /css/main.css within it, you'd do better to use an absolute URL.

My subdomain is pointing to a directory within the main domian as such:
www ---> subdomian_folder
If I use the following url to get to the same file:
http://www.mydomain.com/subdomain_folder/index.php
everything works fine.
Here is what I have in the .htaccess file, but it's not working.
RewriteRule ^(www|sub)\.mydomain\.com/(css|images|js)/ http:// www.mydomain.com/$2

Is there any specific reason NOT to use absolute urls for those? If you enter sub.domain.com/images/knownimage.jpg does it work? Is .htaccess on? Does Rewrite work for other things, or is this the first you've used it on this machine?
