htaccess redirect question

[roie]

Hi,
i have the original typolight htaccess file, but i want to add a redirect like this (the bold part):

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .*\.html$ index.php [L]

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

But nothing seems to work, i think maybe i have to position the code lines differently, but don't no how...

cab anyone please help?

Try it like this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

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

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .*\.html$ index.php [L]

[L] means "last rule", so in your example the custom rules have never been executed for .html documents. Now your rules are checked first.

Thanks, tried it but it doe'nt work.
I'll just write specific 301 page for each page.

By no means am I a mod_rewrite expert, but I wonder if the "L" at the end of both the redirect and friendly-url rules is the source of the problem. Where "L" indicates the last rule and to stop processing, as Leo said.

Change the "L" associated with your first rewrite rule to an "N" (next rule, continue processing) and give that a whirl.

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,N]

To redirect for canonical url purposes use this

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.co.uk
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.co.uk [R=301,L]

If what you're trying to do is redirect a sub domain to your main domain then you need to create a new htaccess file in your subdomain root folder and redirect from there, hope this helps
