Script Installation on SUBDOMAIN URL

This note would be useful to those wish to have their script installed on subdomain url.

Symptoms:

1. Have define('RL_URL_HOME', 'http://subdomain.atdomain.com/') defined in config.inc.php for the site.
2. Able to get access to the main landing page. However, whenever clicked on any pages, the browser returns ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS or ERROR 404: Requested page not found.
3. Turn Apache rewrite to disable in Common->Basic Settings->General->Apache rewrite module, then those pages are accessible.
4. Turn Apache rewrite to enable, symptom 2 reproduced.

Root Cause Analysis:
The original .HTACCESS does not have a RewriteCond rules that cater for subdomain URL


Workaround:

1. Open & edit .htaccess in the web-root(e.g. /var/www/html/.htaccess), add RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^subdomain\. [NC] right after the RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC], which can be found under # wildcard request section.
2. Secondly, ensure Multifiled/Location Filter plugins is the latest version.

There is no proper & clear notes given by flynax to this scenario. Hope this useful.

Keyword: subdomain, too many redirects / redirect, 404, requested page not found.
Reference found on this forum that proven the above workaround,

4. Assume you have rewrite module enabled in Apache and is working.
