How can I properly work with subdomains?

[Brigitte Pfeifer-Schmöller]

Hi,

my page http://www.pfefferfrau.eu is hosted by http://www.world4you.com. I tried to create a subdomain http://events.pfefferfrau.eu which I wanted to open http://www.pfefferfrau.eu/events. Sadly this shows that this is forbidden.

As I’ve learned that events-page is created virtually, I’m wondering if this is the problem here. Can you please provide some help how to get rid of this problem?

Thank you!

Regards, Brigitte

Hallo Brigitte und wilkommen in unserem Forum!

I will keep this in English so others also understand.

That is not a common request, but I might be able to help you with it.

I found an article talking about the same setup and provides a solution. You can find it here.

Basically this is what you need:

1. Create the subdomain – this is done if I’m right
2. redirect the subdomain to the pfefferfrau.eu/events url
3. Copy this line into your .htaccess file

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?events.pfefferfrau.eu$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/events
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /events/$1 [L] 

Please note that I haven’t tested this, so I cannot guarantee that it will work, but it should give you a start.

Let me know if this helps and if you have any more questions.

Viel Glück!

Andras
