Mod-Rewrite Question

rewrite website.com to website.com/home

[jncr]

Hi, I am relatively new to Apache and Mod-Rewrite. I need to know how to rewrite website.com to website.com/home.

I also need it to rewrite anything.website.com to website.com.

For example I am wanting a script that if a user just types website.com, it will show them the contents of website.com/home. However, if they enter a subdomain (virtual) it will show them the contents of website.com

I have been experimenting with this, and have gotten the first thing to work, but when I tried the second thing, it gave me an infinite loop.

Thank you for any future feedback.

RewriteRule (.*) http://website.com/home/$1 [L]

I thought this would work, but it doesn't.

This question was asked yesterday in another thread, with some small differences.

This thread gives some starting clues [webmasterworld.com...] but will need several modifications.
