How to Disable htaccess Redirects for a Subdomain in Your Website

When you're managing a website that relies on the htaccess file for redirection, setting up a subdomain can present unexpected challenges. A common issue occurs when your subdomain redirects to the public directory of your main domain, which may not be your desired outcome. In this guide, we’ll explore why this happens and how to effectively configure your subdomain to operate independently.

Understanding the Problem

As a Laravel user, you might have set up an htaccess file that directs all traffic to a public directory. However, if you create a subdomain like sub.domain.com and notice that it redirects to sub.domain.com/public, your configurations may be overlapping. This can happen for several reasons:

The htaccess rules in the root directory are being inherited by the subdomain.

You aimed to create a completely independent website on the subdomain that doesn’t utilize the same redirection rules.

Such misconfigurations can prevent your subdomain from functioning as intended, leaving you stuck in a loop of unwanted redirects. Let’s dive into how to solve this issue.

The Solution: Configuring the .htaccess for Your Subdomain

To resolve the redirection problem, you need to create a distinct htaccess file specifically for your subdomain. Here’s how to do it step by step:

Step 1: Create a New .htaccess File

Navigate to the document root of your subdomain (the folder that contains the files for sub.domain.com).

Create a new file named .htaccess in this subdomain directory.

Step 2: Disable the Rewrite Engine

In your new .htaccess file, you’re going to disable the rewrite engine. You can do this by adding the following line of code:

This line of code effectively prevents all redirection rules set in the parent htaccess from being executed within your subdomain.

Step 3: Optional Redirect Configurations

If you require any specific rewrite rules for the subdomain, you can enable the RewriteEngine:

This allows you to create custom rewrites tailored specifically for sub.domain.com while ensuring it doesn’t inherit rules from the main domain.

Why the Configuration Matters

It’s essential to understand that if your subdomain is completely unrelated to your main domain, it should ideally not be pointing to a subdirectory off the main domain’s document root. This ensures that your subdomain’s operations remain isolated, preventing unwanted interference from your main site's configurations.

Conclusion

By setting up an individual .htaccess file for your subdomain and disabling the rewrite engine, you free your subdomain from the redirection rules of your main site. This allows you to create and manage completely separate websites under the same domain umbrella effortlessly.

If you follow these steps, your subdomain should now function independently, letting you build out your new website without mistakenly routing users back to your main domain's public directory.
