Sub-Domain Setup

Q: How to configure a sub-domain to work?

A: Before the explanation, we need to remind you that sub-domain name is an advanced fucntion. It is only recommended for advanced users. If you are beginner, please consult more information about sub-domain name from reference books.

And please be noted that the sub-domain name service is an optional service which is only available for those who had applied.

Here are the steps:

1) Create a folder for one of sub-domains in your root directory (ie, web) and name it as your sub domain name, and then create a file called htaccess.txt in "web" by Notepad which contains the following content:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^test.yourdomain.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/test/
RewriteRule (.*) /test/$1

Example:

Domain Name: example.com
My Sub-domain name will be: test.example.com
Folder for the sub-domain name: test

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^test.example.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/test/
RewriteRule (.*) /test/$1

Then upload the htaccess.txt via FTP to the "web" directory, and rename its file name htaccess.txt into .htaccess

All your sub-domain name website files will be placed on the folder you have created, on above case, the sub-domain name: test.example.com website content should be placed on the folder called test.

Cautions:
1) The .htaccess MUST place in the "web" directory.

2) The syntax "RewriteEngine On" DO NOT need copy again in further sub-domain name settings.

Now your sub-domain name should work.
