htaccess Elite

I'd like to try redirecting/rewriting internal links to the www subdomain to go to a different subdomain. For example, let's say on my page I have a link written like this:

<a href="http://www.mydomain.com/">My Home Page</a>

Can I do something in the .htaccess file that will send the user instead to "http://sub.mydomain.com/" when the link is clicked? Thanks in advance for the help.

Yes KN, just edit your root .htaccess file and add this solution based on require the www in .htaccess

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.mydomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://sub.mydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]


Ok I kinda see what you're doing there but it didn't work out for me. Perhaps I should mention that the link to the http://www.mydomain.com is on a page that is actually on sub.mydomain.com. So I'm clicking the link while on the subdomain that I want the link to go to, only the link is coded to go to the www subdomain. Am I missing something? Is there a way to do this at all?

.htaccess can only control requests to the server, it can't control outgoing requests, for that you need javascript.

Unless you can modify the .htaccess file that is in the root folder for the domain http://www.site.com you can't do it.

If you do, please provide information on your setup and any errors you get when doing this code (which works)
