Answer 1

Thanks to Gumbo I managed to figure out how to fix it. Here is what I came up with:

#GET FILE FROM THE SUBDOMAIN DIRECTORY IF IT EXISTS
RewriteCond $1 !^subs/
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} ^([^.]+)\.clan-websites\.com(.*)$
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/subs/%1/%2 -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/subs/%1/%2 -d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ subs/%1%2 [L]

#GET THE DEFAULT FILE IF NOT FOUND IN SUBDOMAIN
RewriteCond $1 !^subs/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)$
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/subs/factory/%1 -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/subs/factory/%1 -d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ subs/factory%1 [L]

#SEND THE DATA TO THE SUBDOMAIN CMSMS SINCE NO FILE EXISTS
RewriteCond $1 !^subs/
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} ^([^.]+)\.clan-websites\.com(.*)$
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/subs/%1/%2 !-f [OR]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/subs/%1/%2 !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ subs/%1/index.php?page=$1 [L]

Answer 2

The problem is that you need to provide the absolute file system path to get -f and -d working. If you’re in the document root, you can use this rule:

RewriteCond $1 !^subs/
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/subs/default/$1 -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/subs/default/$1 -d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ subs/default/$1 [L]

But if you’re somewhere else, it’s going to be hard to get the right path prefix.
