Question

I have 2 different domains on the same server:
domain1.com and domain2.com on server address 100.12.12.222
and simple redirection rule for non-www to www

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

and I’d like to have a rule like: if host=domain1.com then redirect to http://www.domain1.com
and if host=100.12.12.222 don’t redirect to http://www.domain1.com

I tried to add:

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^100\.12\.12\.222
RewriteRule (.*) http://100.12.12.222/$1 [R=301,L]

which works if the second domain doesn’t have non-www to www redirection

so I googled and read apache advices and tried to combine something like:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [OR]
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^100\.12\.12\.222
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

here I tried to use HTTP_HOST and various things, but it doesn’t redirect right.
Your help would be very appreciated.

Drop the [or] flag. You want to redirect to www. if the host is not www... and the remote != 100.12.12.222
