how to redirect plages to main domain

[kaksiviisi]

Good day.

I have been searching around to find a solution for my problem.

I would like to redirect pages like

www.mydomain.com/subsite/funny/year/month/date/
www.mydomain.com/subsite/notice/year/month/date/
www.mydomain.com/subsite/amazing/year/month/date/
.
.
.

to my main domain

www.myadomain.com/

Can anyone kindly please suggest me a solution? Thank you very much for your time and help.

Have a nice day.

See Apache mod_alias and mod_rewrite documentation at apache.org and examples in our Apache Forum Library.

Either the RedirectMatch directive in mod_alias or the RewriteRule directive in mod_rewrite can easily be used to solve this problem.

Thanks jdMorgan. I managed to get it done.

Sharing the code here

RewriteRule ^subsite\/?(.*)$ "http\:\/\/www\.example\.com\/" [R=301,L]

You don't need all that escaping, the back-reference declaration, or the "/?" in the pattern. Add a question mark to the substitution if you wish to clear any/all query strings:

RewriteRule ^subsite http://www.example.com/? [R=301,L]
