Question

I’d like to redirect only the base url to an external site.

For instance, I want example.com redirected to anotherdomain.com but I don’t want example.com/path to be redirected.

So far, example.com/path redirects to anotherdomain.com/path. 🙁

EDIT :

First, thank you for the help! example.com now redirects to another.com without affecting the children paths of example.com.

However, ideally, m.example.com won’t redirect to another.com. So it’s really just example.com redirecting to another.com.

Add this to your .htaccess in your DocumentRoot. I am assuming that you are hosting only one domain on the server.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^m\.
RewriteRule ^$ http://anotherdomain.com [R,L]
