Verio sub domain hosting question

[suprafan99]

hi guys -

I am havign a hard time with Verio in setting up this senario.

I want support.lloydtech.com to forward to lloydtech.com/support

I followed all their instructions, and when I went to add the following code to my .htaccess file, I get internal server errors on every page request...

RewriteEngine On
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteBase /
# Rewrite Rule for support.lloydtech.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} support.lloydtech.com$ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !support/ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ support/$1


Has anyone with Verio done this sucessfully?

I emailed tech support and one guy gave me this code, and then when it didn'twork, another guy told me that Verio isn't allowed to help with File Zone edits...

Any advice or anthing?

thanks guys...

Don't use rewrite, use a redirect, like so:

Redirect /olddirectory/oldfile.html http://yoursite.com/newdirectory/newfile.html

hi -

what line would I replace?
Or would I just kill all of my code and insert the single line that you had posted?

Also because I'm not redirecting a directory, what would I put in the place of:

Redirect /olddirectory/oldfile.html http://yoursite.com/newdirectory/newfile.html

Olddirectory/oldfile.html ? Should I put:


Redirect support.mysite.com http://www.mysite.com/support ?

Thanks for helping!!!!!

you want to replace your entire code..

usually with subdomains, it also creates a folder either in root or in the public_html (www) folder. You can point it to that (/home/yoursite/public_html/support) or what ever it is equal to..
