I am having problems getring a simple redirect statement to take effect on my Godaddy account. I have the following statements in my .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.mydomain.net$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mydomain.net/$1 [R=301,L]  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain.net$ [NC] RewriteRule ^/lists/$ / [R=301]  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain.net$ [NC] RewriteRule ^/blog/$ http://myotherdomain.net/ [R=301]

The 1st redirect ALWAYS work. The 2nd and 3rd ones however, NEVER work. I just get a 404 from the server. The Apache logs do not reveal any useful infomation – just a 404.

Any ideas, anybody? Your help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

  1. Per-directory Rewrites
    When using the rewrite engine in .htaccess files the per-directory prefix (which always is the same for a specific directory) is automatically removed for the pattern matching and automatically added after the substitution has been done.
    – http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewriterule

    So just leave the leading slash out of the pattern.
