    ServerAdmin [email protected]
    DocumentRoot "C:/wamp64/www"
    ServerName localhost
    ServerAlias *.localhost
    ErrorLog "logs/localhost-error.log"
    CustomLog "logs/localhost-access.log" common
    <Directory "C:/wamp64/www">
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

    RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([a-z0-9-]+).example.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/storeify/category/([0-9]+)$
RewriteRule ^storeify/category/([0-9]+)$ /storeify/category/ [L,QSA]

    You can check whether you are on an alias domain and if so, whether it’s the category page:

    <if "%{SERVER_NAME} != 'localhost'">
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(category)/ [NC]
   RewriteRule . /some/path/you/want.html  [L]
</if>

    Wildcards are not supported in the hosts file. You may try manually adding multiple entries in the hosts file in order to test whether you have your webserver configured correctly, for example:

    user1.localhost 127.0.0.1
user2.localhost 127.0.0.1
...

    Once you are happy that your webserver is configured correctly, your best route to getting wildcard domains working would probably be a local DNS resolver. If you’re on Ubuntu, maybe you can achieve this with resolvconf…

    In regards to only wanting it to work on the category webpage, that comes down to the program you are writing. You could probably do some blocking in .htaccess itself, however you are already specifically going to have to handle multiple domains within your web application, so I would suggest you program these restrictions in there as well.
