    I will send $5 to the paypal address of anyone who can show me how to do the following:

    I have multiple pages in a subdomain that I would like to 301 redirect to another page in the same subdomain.


    I have many pages in a subdomain like the following:

    subdomain.domain.com/SurveysAAA.htm
    subdomain.domain.com/SurveysBBB.htm
    subdomain.domain.com/SurveysCCC.htm
    subdomain.domain.com/SurveysDDD.htm
    subdomain.domain.com/SurveysBackup1.htm
    subdomain.domain.com/SurveysBackup2.htm


    What I want is for EACH page of the format "subdomain.domain.com/Surveys(whatever).htm" to permanently go to page:

    "subdomain.domain.com/Surveys.htm"


    So:

    subdomain.domain.com/SurveysAAA.htm --> subdomain.domain.com/Surveys.htm

    subdomain.domain.com/SurveysBBB.htm --> subdomain.domain.com/Surveys.htm

    subdomain.domain.com/SurveysCCC.htm --> subdomain.domain.com/Surveys.htm

    subdomain.domain.com/SurveysDDD.htm --> subdomain.domain.com/Surveys.htm

    subdomain.domain.com/SurveysBackup1.htm --> subdomain.domain.com/Surveys.htm

    subdomain.domain.com/SurveysBackup2.htm --> subdomain.domain.com/Surveys.htm

    etc ...



    I do not want subdomain.domain.com/Surveys.htm to be redirected to subdomain.domain.com/Surveys.htm (useless?)


    My latest version of the .htaccess file is:

    Options +Indexes
    Options +FollowSymlinks
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} subdomain\.domain\.com
    RewriteRule ^Surveys(.+).htm$ http://subdomain.domain.com/Surveys.htm [R=301,L]


    As you can probably tell, I have tried to modify something I found online. I have no clue to what I'm doing. I tried placing the .htaccess file in the domain root and the subdomain root. No matter what I do, nothing happens. No redirects, no errors ... nothing.


    I would greatly appreciate any help with this. As I said at the top of this post, I will send $5 to the paypal address of the first person who can show me how to do this, or whose response leads me to do this.

    Thank you.

    I tried as you suggested:

    Options +Indexes
    Options +FollowSymlinks
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} subdomain\.domain\.com
    RewriteRule ^/Surveys(.*)$ /Surveys.htm [R=301,L]

    Unfortunately it didn't work (no difference). I placed the .htaccess file in the root of the subdomian.

    I appreciate your help though.
