Apache subdomains, folders and rewrite rules

Question

I've been trying to setup the following with no success.

I'd like /WebContent/<any-folder-name>/html/index.html to accessible by http://<any-folder-name>.homelan.net. Basically homelan.net is a local domain, with wildcards enabled pointing to the same IP address. I've been trying with different RewriteRules but with no luck so far.

Answer 1

You could easily use mod_vhost_alias to map the host names to a certain document root on your server.

Answer 2

Take a look at the Apache URL Rewriting Guide. The example under Virtual User Hosts sounds like exactly what you are trying to do.
