    Hi,

    I want to redirect everything from the main page of my site to a directory, respecting the "www."

    So if they don't type www., it doesn't force it, and if they do type www., it doesn't remove it.

    So for example,

    www.mydomain.com goes to www.mydomain.com/dir

    and

    mydomain.com goes to mydomain.com/dir


    Thank you.

    Edit (answer):

    RedirectMatch permanent ^/$ /dir
    Code (markup):
