I want to redirect a url in my lcalhost ,as when user types : mystring.localhost/CI to localhost/CI/Mycontroller/Myaction/mystring in codeigniter .its now showing Server not found and says browser Firefox can't find the server at www.mystring.localhost. How to do this ? Thanks in advance. I have this in my .htaccess :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mystring\.localhost\CI\
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://localhost/CI/Mycontroller/myaction/mystring/$1 [R=301]
On Windows edit the file C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts and then append:
127.0.0.1 mystring.localhost
So it will redirect all requests from mystring.localhost to 127.0.0.1
On Linux is the same syntax but file is at /etc/hosts
And then, you must make some Alias or RewriteRule with RewriteCond on Apache configuration or .htaccess.
So if I understand correctly:
-Someone would type in mystring.localhost/CI, and you would like it to redirect them to a certain page with an action and value?
If so, you can set a page as the index page in \application\config\config.php
Its on line 30:
$config['index_page'] = 'Mycontroller/Myaction/mystring';
Otherwise in the controller that handles your index just do a redirect in it's __construct function.
There is most likely a solution involving the HTACCESS file but I am not very knowledgeable on that.
Hope this helps!

add to c:\wamp\bin\apache\ApacheYOUVERSION\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf
NameVirtualHost *.yourdomain.dev
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www/CI"
ServerName *.yourdomain.dev
</VirtualHost>
Find #Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf in c:\wamp\bin\apache\ApacheYOUVERSION\conf\httpd.conf and delete # at the beginning
in your hosts file: 127.0.0.1 yourdomain.dev
add this to your htaccess:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([a-z0-9-]+).yourdomain.dev [NC]
RewriteRule ([a-z0-9-]+)(/+.*) index.php/$1/%1$2 [QSA]
