subdomain and .htaccess

[geminigeek]

my webhost kept on going down and i plan to switch to freepgs soon.

so anyway, on my current site, i am using blog.geminigeek.com. How do i redirect my visitor from blog.geminigeek.com to geminigeek.com/blog? And yea, I want the address on the browser change too. i know we can use .htaccess to do this, but im not sure how.

And, is it possible to redirect any directory under blog.geminigeek.com to geminigeek.com/blog?

thanks in advance.

If you have a directory dedicated to blog.geminigeek.com, then add this line to .htaccess :

Redirect permanent / http://geminigeek.com/blog/

Not sure if this can be done via htaccess... but i'm not a expert on apache or htaccess...

I do know we can set up (Two) 2 subdomains on your account if you want that to be pointed to /blog

i tried putting that code in my .htaccess in my /blog directory, but it doesnt seem to work. it messes up everything. that code redirect my site to infinite number of /blog. is it because the default code generated by my wordpress messes up everything?

I think this will work

Code Select Expand

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^blog.geminigeek.com
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://geminigeek.com/blog [R=301,nc]

Check that wordpress has the correct "WordPress URI" its options section. If that doesn't fix the problem, it is probably because blog.geminigeek.com and /blog point to the same directory.

Would need some changes, as it might break WordPress. Plus, it will redirect people from a specific article on the subdomain to the homepage. Just to be safe, the corrected code is below.

Code Select Expand

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^blog.geminigeek.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://geminigeek.com/blog/$1 [L,R=301]

For 2 subdomains:
Do we have to repeat the 3 lines of the .htacces on main directory, in one file?
like that:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?aranjosflorais.net$
RewriteRule ^(aranjosflorais\/)?(.*)$ aranjosflorais/$2 [L]

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?ateliermariasantos.net$
RewriteRule ^(ateliermariasantos\/)?(.*)$ ateliermariasantos/$2 [L]

YES?
And of course proper normal .htaccess in each directory.
Like that we can have 3 domains on one account
Thanks to answer

You only need "RewriteEngine On" once. The other two lines you repeat for each subdomain.
