.htaccess mod_rewrite, subdomain to specific subdir

[piku]

i'd like to do the following,

http://user1.mydomain.com >> /_users/user1

instead of using cpanel's default subdomain (ie. /user1)

i have the following code ...

RewriteEngine On
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} user1.mydomain.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !_users/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ _users/user1/$1 [L]

but i dont think its correct...any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA

ps. FYI, i have a static IP along w/ the cp account

Don't know if this will help but this mod rewrite will redirect your domain and all subdirectories to a subdomain of the same domain.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(.*)home\.yourdomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://home.yourdomain.com [R]

You might can take part of this code and make it work for what you're trying to do. I put this code together by searching at Sitepoints.com forum.

I hope this helps.

the above is for redirection, while mine...actually acts like cpanels--i guess it works. i just forgot the the default templates on MT needed to be changed. i was using MT2.661 and forgot to grab the newest default templates, which were needed to work w/ the current default styles on their site.

thanks anyways. but both codes should provide other people the help they need in the future.
