.htaccess redirect of subfolders

redirect different domains in a wild card type

[zhaval]

Hello,

We have two domain names pointing to one site, but would like the new one with our country's ending (.si) to prevail.

This is how I have corrected the .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.si/ [R=301,L]

Redirect works, but it doesn't work as a wild card redirect. Can that also be corrected? For example, calls for www.example.com/info or relative links such as /info give me the 404 error. I would like these calls to point to www.example.si/info, for example.

Thank you very much for your help in advance!

The third RewriteCond, together with a missing back-reference in the rule, rejected anything but your home page. There were several other minor shortcomings. Try this instead:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example\.com [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.si
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.si/$1 [R=301,L]

The first new RewriteCond accepts either www or non-www. The second new RewriteCond will redirect example.si to www.example.si.

Thank your for your prompt answer! Unfortunately, if I click any of the links on my site or try directly to go to example.com/info (it is now redirected OK to www.example.si/info) I still get

404 Not Found
The requested URL /info does not exist.

Thank you again (I am only a facultative webmaster and appreciate your help enormously!). Best regards.

PS: my previous .htaccess had the following lines which I dropped, is this OK?

RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-d

[jdMorgan]

I can't answer that question... Is that *all* that you dropped?

Also, be sure to completely flush your browser cache before testing any code changes.

I'm sorry, I haver overlooked another line I have dropped:

RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

I cleared the cache.. I get the main page OK, but all of the other subpages are unavailable (Wordpress site).

Thank you again..

Well, that explains why you are getting 404 errors then. Those pages don't exist as 'real' HTML pages, and are instead generated by index.php. I would suggest putting all of that code back, placing it after the new rules discussed above -- rule order is important.
