Mobile Web Server

ferrerjr · February 28th, 2007, 11:56 PM

I would like to host two versions of my website on a single domain (www.direk.jp). The main page for PCs and a simple xhtml mp page for mobile phones. How do I direct the mobiles to the approproate page. I have check out mime and browser detection, but i cant understand actually what to do. Maybe .htaccess?? Thank you for your help.

You should be able to do with htaccess

Quote:

Example:

To rewrite the Homepage of a site according to the ``User-Agent:'' header of the request, you can use the following:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Mozilla.*
RewriteRule ^/$ /homepage.max.html [L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Lynx.*
RewriteRule ^/$ /homepage.min.html [L]

RewriteRule ^/$ /homepage.std.html [L]

Interpretation: If you use Netscape Navigator as your browser (which identifies itself as 'Mozilla'), then you get the max homepage, which includes Frames, etc. If you use the Lynx browser (which is Terminal-based), then you get the min homepage, which contains no images, no tables, etc. If you use any other browser you get the standard homepage.

Here's the source: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_rewrite.html

Good luck.

Thank you, ill try that now. Do i need to know anything very specific to edit .htaccess. I have never done it before? Thanks again

I would suggest editing in something like notepad or other similar ASCII editor.

OR

You could use this neato htaccess generator.

There is even a block for rewrite based on browser... Generate and put it in the htdoc root folder.
