Hi there,

As the title says *.mydomain.com needs to redirect to www.mydomain.com
Also needs to include any page after. So sexy.mydomain.com/this/is/apage.htm will need to go to www.mydomain.com/this/is/apage.htm

I've been searching google for the last half hour and I can't seem to get anything to work. Some say you just need to modify .htaccess (which I know a little about), some say about editing DNS records (which I'm not sure I have access to).

How to I do this?

Thanks heaps!

Are we allowed to bump?

Bump?

First off, if you don't have access to the DNS server to create a wildcard DNS setup, redirecting won't matter in the slightest.

Also www. IS a subdomain so if you are not careful you will have a closed loop.

I don't think it would be possible with .htaccess (though it's not my specialty) redirecting ALL subdomains, (including www) to the hostname is practical of course.

Or you could get your hosting techs to add a wildcard ServerAlias and a RedirectMatch to the VirtualHost settings in httpd.conf to create a "catchall virtualhost"
Additions in blue

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName hostname.tld
    ServerAlias *.hostname.tld
    RedirectMatch 301 (.*) http://www.hostname.tld$1
</VirtualHost>

much cheaper in server CPU resources than mod_rewrite

Hi this my first post hope it will help.
U can do it with three step.
1- configure your dns to catch *.domain.tld
in windows for testing you can just add A record in lmhosts in /windows/system32/drivers/etc like this
127.0.0.1 *.Domain.*com
in real world contact your hosting to do so.

2- configure apache to redirect the * like mentioned above with serveralias
u need to contact hosting companies 2 for that.

3- add mod_rewrite to .htaccess file
take a look to easymodrewrite.Com then click on catch all subdomains, i just visited this site this morning and i forget to bookmark it if the adress is wrong just type in google "mod rewrite tutorial" and you'll get it in the result.
Hope my post helped you.
