redirecting contents of a subdomain to antoher url
Hi Guys
Can anyone tell me how to redirect a subdomain and all the contents into it to another URL
for example say i have the following website
something.mywebsite.com
now every single file within that subdomain how do i do it so that it redirects to another location?
So say i had a file called
http://something.subdomain.com/afold.../somefile.html
each time someone tries to access that somefile.html it gets directed to another URL
likewise the same thing with files in the root aswell
in other words what im saying the entire contents in public_html folder each time soemoen tries to acces a file within it it gets redirected be it images or html

for a subdomain, your control panel should have some sort of "redirection" feature, were you can force a client who visits the subdomain, to be redirected to another URL, for root public_html you should place an .htaccess file in there, thats if you have apache :-P

Hi thanks for your reply
I had a look and found this:
http://www.widexl.com/scripts/docume...d_rewrite.html
and there is code somewhere on that page which shows:
---------------------
Redirect visitor by domain name
DESCRIPTION: In some cases the same web site is accessible by different addresses, like domain.com, www.domain.com, www.domain2.com and we want to redirect it to one address.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [R,L]
EXPLAIN: In this case the requested URL http://domain.com/foo.html would redirected to the URL http://www.domain.com/foo.html.
----------------
is that the kinda thing i want? If so do i create a blank .htaccess file and post that code on? and if so where do i save it under? Public_html?
any help wud be appreicated
Thanks!
