simple mod rewrite help

[catchmeifucan]

I have a subdomain store.mystore.com, how do I 301 redirect all pages under it to my www.mystore.com?

for example,

store.mystore.com/xyz.html -> www.mystore.com/xyz.html

I have a lot of xyz pages, what is the mod rewrite rule I should use?

Hi catchmeifucan,

You're right this one is fairly easy...

RewriteEngine ON
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yoursite.com/$1 [R=301,L]

So you have an idea of what it does here goes:
^ starts the line
(.*) catches any string and stores it in a variable.
$ ends the line

The canonical URL causes an external redirect.
R=301 redefines the redirect from the default (302/temproary) to a 301/permanent.
L says stop processing now.

Hope this helps.

Justin,

I played with it but didn't work out. can you just give me a simple line of code that should work?

Thanks

Hi catchmeifucan,

That one should work...

What do you mean by not working out?
Which site did you put it on?
What directory did you put it in?
What exactly do you want it to do?

Please, let me know.

Justin
