subdomain redirects to subfolder

Question

I have created a subdomain for my website (fr.mohamedkadri.com) and after 24 hours it became active but it redirects to the subfolder that I poited to (mohamedkadri.com/fr)

Is there a problem? why the subdomain redirects to the subfolder?

here is my .htaccess:

SetEnv PHP_VER 5

RewriteEngine On

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

Answer 1

1. You could add a more rewrite conditions

   RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^mohamedkadri.com$ [NC]

   RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^fr.mohamedkadri.com$ [NC]

   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mohamedkadri.com/$1 [L,R=301]

2. You could setup apache virtual hosts, so each domain would have its own configuration.

Answer 2

afaik subdomains are stored in subfolders (e.g. apache). as long as you can reach your target via the intended fr.mohamedkadri.com/and/more/URL where is the problem?

Edit0: Imho you have to use rewrite rules (apache mod_rewrite) in your .htaccess file in the folder named according to your subdomain.

Answer 3

Ok I got the point!

I eidted my htaccess file:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^mohamedkadri.com$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$

to

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} www.mohamedkadri.com$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$

So I got the www removed and other subdomains kept as is!

Thanks for your replies ;)
