Problem with subdomain redirects

I don't know if I'm doing this right or not, so please bear with me.

I'm a big fan of deprecated URLs - specifically, no "www" addresses. So, I want to redirect all "www" requests to "non-www". That's pretty straightforward so far. I have easily done this using the following method:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.mydomain\.net$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mydomain.net/$1 [R=301,L]

Code (markup):

The problem is, this code is fine for the domain. But I cannot get it to work for the subdomains. So, my questions are as follows:

A) do I need a .htaccess file in my subdomain, or can I make one top level to hit them all?
B) why does this not work with subdomains? I tried putting the subdomain name in - i.e.; sudomain.mydomain.net - in the Rewrite.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong here. I just want to redirect www to non-www for my domain, and ALL of its subdomains.

Thank you.

 

I'm pretty new to mod_rewrites ... I wonder if this will work...

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^.*mydomain.net$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

 

Hi,

Your .htaccess for the main domain is in the top web directory of the main domain.

.htaccess files for a subdomain should be located in the top web directory of this subdomain.

So then how do I redirect www to non-www on a subdomain?

 

I would try this :

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.subdomain\.mydomain\.net$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://subdomain.mydomain.net/$1 [R=301,L]

Looking for the same solution.

I've set the top domain with the code from the first post. That works great!


But now also looking for a solution for a subfolder.

I want to redirect 301, from http://www.domain/sub/327.html to http://domain/sub/327.html

Anyone has got a solution?

 

Jean-Luc:

That was the first thing that I tried, borrowing the logic from the top-level redirect. However, it produced a 404 error.

***edit*** I lied. Actually, it produced a server error. ("cannot find server", to be exact) Removing the .htaccess file clears up the problem, but is not a solution.
