301 redirect on subdomains

[Jalabala]

Hello everybody

I put the following code to my htaccess file on my main domain.

Line number On/Off
Code: Select all
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^domain.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [r=301,nc]

My problem is with my sub domain.because it defined as a separate site to my main domain by search engines, am curious to add a htaccess file to that subdomain.but i would like the subdomain.domain.tld to be the visible url for the subdomain only, instead of it rewriting to domain.tld/subdomain. hoping that someone could really understand my situation give necessary advice to resolve the issue..

any help should be brilliant and greatly appreciated.
thanks for reading me

If you are just trying to redirect better locate to the index files of both of those pages and you can put a meta redirect right there.
<META http-equiv="refresh" content="2; URL=http://www.yoursite.com/">
The 2 being how many seconds before the forward.also any files on a subdomain effected by this .htaccess that do not have an .extention and do not end in a / will be rewritten to www.example.com/thecompletepath/

I need to ask you few questions Is it the case that you want to redirect *all* subdomains to your main domain,you having more files?If it has considerable number, but not all, are there more that you want to redirect than that you want to keep? this things are really playing important role in this topic

It depends on your server configuration, and the procedure currently in use to rewrite subdomain requests to those sub directories. but in the code, the first rule does not need to be altered, whether it is used in your top-level directory or duplicated in every subdomain's subdirectory.

The second is basically to prevent an infinite loop when it interacts which the method currently used to rewrite subdomain requests to subdirectories. It is coded so that it only affects client requests for subdomain-subdirectories, and will not be invoked if the request for the subdirectory is produced by the server in response to a subdomain request.
