mod_rewrite in per-server context

On my local machine (Win32) I wanted to add a sub domain. so I put
this on the .htaccess of my document-root:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^subdomain\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ subdomain/$1

which worked fine. Every request to the subdomain is rewrited to the
directory "subdomain".

But now I want to do that in per-server context, inside a VirtualHost
directive, but it doesn't work.
I read the rewrite log and the directive never execute. It's like it
wasn't even there.

Any idea what the problem could be?

Thanks.

Re: mod_rewrite in per-server context

I just want to know how can this be done inside a VirtualHost
directive

I tried this:


. . . .
. . . .

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^subdomain\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ subdomain/$1



but it doesn't work.
I dont know what is the problem.

The virtual host (the only one I have) is detected right.
I have the directive
ServerAlias *.mydomain

So anything like subdomain.mydomain matches that.

Unfortunately, I need this to work on a remote server where
mod_vhost_alias is not available.

I get it to work using .htaccess files. And in the rewrite log, I see
the steps in the rewriting process.
But when I move the directives to the VirtualHost context, the rewrite
log shows nothing about it (it doesn't even log that the rule doesn't
match). It's like apache doesn't see the rewriting directives in the
VirtualHost.
