Help! Redirect subdomain to domain

jo4acause · 09-01-2011, 02:46 AM

Hello There

I need help with htaccess redirection code. I want to redirect all mail.domain.com/blog (and all internal pages) to www.domain.com/blog.

also mail.domain.com/gift (and all internal pages) to www.domain.com/gift.

I currently have a redirection code which is only redirecting mail.domain.com to www.domain.com. But this is not redirecting some of my subpages like the ones above.

mail subdomain is a virtual domain created by cpanel, so i cannot insert any codes in the root of the subdomain.

Help will be much appreciated.

Thanks
===

current code used

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{http_host} !^www.example.com$ [nc]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ IANA — Example domains [r=301,nc,L]

Try this:

Code:

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

Make sure you change the "mysite" to your actual domain name. It should work for you.

Btw, that code needs to go in the .htaccess file on your server.

Thanks Patrich, appreciate your help.

I will add this code and update.

I added it to my root domain but doesn't work. Because mail subdomain is a virtual subdomain created by cpanel there is no option to add it to the root of the subdomain.

This is how the current Htacess redirection codes are set up.

======

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{http_host} !^www.exampple.com$ [nc]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [r=301,nc,L]

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