How about a 301 redirect from the subdirectory addresses to the corresponding subdomain addresses? Also check for any links on your site that use the subdirectory form.

That indexed URL is only one of many possible alternatives, as recently discussed in: [webmasterworld.com...] You'll need that redirect.

Ok. here is my .htaccess file; I added the redir command (bolded text) as below: | # -FrontPage- IndexIgnore .htaccess */.?* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti* Order deny,allow
<Limit GET POST>
Allow from all
</Limit> <Limit PUT DELETE>
Deny from all
</Limit> AuthName www.domain.net
AuthUserFile /home/user/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd
AuthGroupFile /home/user/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.grp
AddType application/x-httpd-cgi .htm redirect permanent /sub [sub.domain.net...] Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on # Redirect all non-canonical domain requests to requested resource in canonical domain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}!^www\.domain\.net
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}!^sub\.domain\.net RewriteRule (.*) [domain.net...] [R=301,L] |

It works fine, but as I never managed such a problem before,I'm not sure is a technically correct solution: What do you think about?

I would use a rewrite with [R=301,L] and check that you do not produce a double redirect for any format of starting URL. . For instance, what happens if the site has canonicalisation of index files in place, and you then ask for the index file in that folder? You would have a redirect to take care of the index file, and another redirect to take care of the folder itself. One redirect runs, and then the other one. That is a redirection chain and is something to be avoided. The redirect should really solve both problems in just one move.

So, how to integrate that 301?
I already tried up adding a previous line such as RewriteRule (.*) [domain.net...] [R=301,L] but it doesn't work.It's the reason for wich I set up that redorect permanent code. I don't know much about rewrite rules...

Because people use different servers, the best place for a technical discussion like this is the Apache Web Server forum [webmasterworld.com] (or for others, the Microsft IIS Web Server forum [webmasterworld.com]).

I'm not seeing any mention made of the DNS setup. To "publish" a subdomain, as I understand it, you need either to have set up wildcard DNS or to specify a specific subdomain in your A-records. Your .htacess then might come into play, depending on your preferences and how your subdomains are set up. What's being done on the DNS now?

Sorry to be technical out here, but: ### BELOW IS MOD_ALIAS (Redirect permanent) ###
redirect permanent /sub http://sub.domain.net Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks ### BELOW IS MOD_REWRITE (RewriteRule) ###
RewriteEngine on # Redirect all non-canonical domain requests to requested resource in canonical domain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domain\.net
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^sub\.domain\.net RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.net/$1 [R=301,L] Mod_Alias and Mod_Rewrite directives will be processed in different orders, depending on server configuration, not on rule order. So, it is entirely possible there is a processing order issue. I would recommend changing everything to Mod_Rewrite and making things a little more efficient: Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www¦sub\.domain\.net)?$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.net/$1 [R=301,L] RewriteRule ^sub/(.*) http://sub.domain.net/$1 [R=301,L] For more details see the Apache Forum...

Is the domain in question by chance an addon domain on a cPanel shared hosting account?
