    Hey, well I'm trying to redirect a wildcard subdomain, *.belginfish.com to http://www.belginfish.com

    For some reason, when i add the redirection through cpanel its giving me this error:

    Apache detected an error in the Rewrite config.

    Syntax error on line 17 of .htaccess.hbsja7z_zfF8mKXFKyNohohIURgEhBs3:
    RewriteCond: cannot compile regular expression '^*.belginfish.com$'

    Please try again.

    Could anyone tell me why i would be getting this? My host allows wildcard domains,

    Thanks

    use \. instead of just .

    Add the following lines to your .htaccess file:

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