Rewrite everything with the new domain name (including subdomains)

Question

I want simple to rewrite everthing from OLD.COM to NEW.COM including subdomains and stuff - whatever user types in should just be replaced with NEW.COM and the rest of it stays as is. I tried this but it's not working for subdomains.

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^((www\.)?[^\.]+)\.old\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1.new.com/$1 [R=301,L]

What did I miss? Thanks Bob

Answer 1

Delete all the subdomains in the apache config and replace it with this:

Listen *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /var/www/ #Wherever your site is located now
    ServerName olddomain.com
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)olddomain\.com$ [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
</VirtualHost>

That should redirect all subdomains.
