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]
#domain #redirect #subdomain

      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.

    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.
