HEEEEEEEELP!

[George]

I have this subdomain:
states.domain.com
in this subdomain I have folders for the states:
states.domain.com/StateName

IN these folders I have a php file with querystring

I want to redirect all of it to:
www.domain.com/search/StateName/

Can't get it right so I need help!!

[richardk]

Different servers for the domain and subdomain?
Different document roots for the domain and subdomain?

You could probably do it with Redirect. In a .htaccess file in the document root of states.domain.com:

Code: Select all

Redirect 301 / http://www.domain.com/search/

[George]

I tried that but it won't work the way I need it to.

Here's what I have right now:
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} \.([^\.]+\.[^\.0-9]+\.[^\.]+)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/robots\.txt$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%1/search/$1 [R=301,L]

but when I have
http://states.domain.com/california/ it rewrites it just to:
http://www.domain.com/search/

...

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^states\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule !^robots\.txt$ http://www.domain.com/search%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

[George]

but if I use:
http://states.domain.com/alabama/index.php

it goes to:
http://www.domain.com/search/

doesn't care about the alabama.

It shoudl go to:
http://www.domain.com/search/alabama/index.php

[richardk]

That's what it does. Your browser has probably cached the 301 redirect, clear your browsers cache.

[George]

and it only goes to:
http://www.domain.com/search/ and not the /alabama/ part

[richardk]

Did you clear your browsers cache? It's worked fine every time i've tried it.

Have you got a link?

[George]

Forgot I had a .htaccess in each folder
Still, what I am seeing in cPanel/lastVisitors is that when google accesses the file the path is not right and I don't understand why

[richardk]

What happens when you go there? Does it work?

If it works when you go there, there's no reason why it wouldn't work when a bot goes there, mod_rewrite acts no differently.

Has google actually accessed your site since you added the latest mod_rewrite?
