.htaccess help - subdomains and redirect

htaccess, subdomain, redirect

[thecanuck]

Hi all,

My first time to WebmasterWorld.com, and I've tried to find my answer within the forum, and wasn't able too... hopefully someone can help me?

I'm trying to do the following...

www.domain.com --> domain.com
wildcard.domain.com --> domain.com

www.domain.com/test/ --> domain.com/test/
wildcard.domain.com/test/ --> domain.com/test/

www.domain.net --> domain.com
wildcard.domain.net --> domain.com

Please help! Thanks.

The standard rule, posted several times per week, will do the job.

# Canonical Redirect non-www to www
# Also caters for non-blank host, unwanted port numbers, etc.

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

It also takes care of example.com:80 and www.example.net:80 and so on.

Thanks g1smd, that's a far I've gotten, unfortunately, this is not the correct solution.

I want the following to happen:

any sub-domain to redirect to the domain, for example:

w.domain.com --> domain.com
test.domain.com --> domain.com
etc...

Any ideas?

As long as that code is in the place those widcard sub-domains resolve to, that code will work.

If the DNS is not set right, it can never work.
