htaccess subdomain & non-www to www redirects.

[nico-t]

They seem to interfere with eachother, the non-www to www redirect overwrites the subdomain to subdir redirect so subdomains just go to www.mydomain.com without subdir.

Let me explain the situation, i have subdomains i want to their respective subdir.
So
title.mydomain.com to www.mydomain.com/title/
titletwo.mydomain.com to www.mydomain.com/titletwo/
etc.
But right now i also have the non-www to www redirect code:

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

But when i add this subdomain to subdir code to the htaccess (which redirects all subdomains to subdirs except when it's www):

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


.... it just redirects the subdomains to the home page www.mydomain.com.
How do i do this?

Try this maybe:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.mydomain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mydomain.com/%1/$1 [R=301,L]

[nico-t]

no that doesnt make a difference

EDIT:
Nevermind

not 100% sure but you might need to have wildcard domains enabled on the host?

I know wordpress MU (for multiple blogs on subdomains) won't work unless the host has wildcard domains enabled

anyway, just a guess

Tested this on mine, so far it worked. Maybe you can mix it up from here.

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

[nico-t]

Thanks for the effort, but that doesnt work at all doesnt even redirect to the main domain

Let me show you how the htaccess looks:

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

And antonio i dont know what you mean

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

# abc.domain.com/def --> /subs/abc/def 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domain\.com$ [NC] 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^\.]+)\.domain\.com$ [NC] 
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/subs/%2%{REQUEST_URI}/ -d 
RewriteRule [^/]$ http://%2.domain.com%{REQUEST_URI}/ [R=301,L] 
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$ 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domain\.com$ [NC] 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^\.]+)\.domain\.com$ [NC]
