Rewrite Proxy i think?

I've read through this forum but cant seem to get anything to work.

I dont have access to the httpd.conf on my online space, i contacted the provider and they said rewrites are not blocked.

This is what I have.

Code:

RewriteEngine on
#RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://myownserver.com/html$1 [R]

So that when i go to

http://myspace.someISP.com/ I want it to say on this URL in the browsers but load the contents of http://myownserver.com/html/

Hope that was english enough

Hi,
I don't think it's possible with a 100% Apache solution,
but you could use a mix of Apache and Php.

I'd suggest this:

Server:
myspace.someISP.com

/.htaccess

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/pippo.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /pippo.php [L]

/pippo.php

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

readfile( "http_://myownserver.com/html/".$_SERVER[ 'REQUEST_URI' ] );

?>

for that you need to have inside your php.ini
allow_url_fopen = On
to enable fopen wrappers

and php, obviously!

Hope It Helps!

I have no apache or php configuration rights

so i wont be able to set the php

allow_url_fopen = On

unless it's set by default.

Default is on,
but if eventually it's off (check the phpinfo) then you can set it on using .htaccess or inside a php script.

So it's not a problem,

okay, making matters worse i tried this but I can only run PHP on my cgi server on the first domain.

i.e.

http://mydomain.com and http://cgi.mydomain.com

I can't help think there must be some easy way for doing this using just rewrites, i have some code that when i goto

http://domain.com/mysite/forum/

it loads the code from /forum/ and uses thr request uri to identify the correct database.
