.htaccess - Redirect sub-domains except www

musicplace.co.nr · 03-14-2010, 04:20 PM

Hi,

I know how to redirect all subdomains using a .htaccess file, but how do I exclude www from redirected.

E.g. australia.music-chart.info -> redirects to Australia Music Chart | ITunes Music Chart Archive
japan.music-chart.info -> redirects to www.music-chart.info/japan
etc...

but www.music-chart.info redirects to www.music-chart.info/www and I don't want it too.

The code I currently have in my .htaccess is:

Code:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?([^.]+)\.music-chart\.info
RewriteRule ^$ http://www\.music-chart\.info/%2 [R=301]

Thanks,

Nevermind... this worked:

Code:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.music-chart\.info$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.music-chart\.info$
RewriteRule ^$ http://www\.music-chart\.info/%1 [R=301]

If theres a better way to do this, let me know.

The way you have it now is the best way that I can think of

Asking web hosting provider to do that redirect on the side of the server is the best option as for me.
