hi

i have multi language site (PL,DE) and two domains

domain A should be the main domain of PL version
domain B should redirect to german main page

so in htaccess i put

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

and it works but only when domain doesn't start with "www"

i put another rule

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.de [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} www.domain.de
RewriteRule (.*)$ http://www.domain.de/de [R=301,L]

but now nothing works
there is some problem with this rule: RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} www.domain.de
always get an error
"Moved Permanently The document has moved here."

and another question
why when i have: RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.de
and enter the site i get a ?url=/de at the end of the URL ?
http://www.domain.de/de?url=/de

You have to evaluate rewrites in priority, and this case make the www optional.

http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/RewriteMassVhosting

hmm

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

domain.de => redirect to DE main page GOOD
www.domain.de => redirect to PL main page BAD

Sorry I was posting last night when I should have been sleeping, what I wrote wasn't useful at all.

So to do the optional www, I don't think using ! (nots) for negative matching is the best approach. Maybe something like this

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

I didn't test that, so let me know if it works.

The ?url=/de part is something I've run into quite often with SS. The short answer is append a / to the end and it will go away, like http://www.site.com/de/

It has to do with some wonky matching and necessary voodoo in the HTTPResponse. Well that is my opinion as I understand the code that is.

thanks for helping but still nothing
now both of domains get 301 ERROR

hmm
is it possible to redirect www.domain.de to domain.de and than to http://www.domin.de/de ? maybe it is stupid way but i dont have any idea :(

That would be the R=301 at work, remove it so that it is just [L] if it is the last rule. You might have to get comfy with other tutorials and man pages for mod_rewrite: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/misc/rewriteguide.html

i tried to do the same by PHP

	function redirect() {
		$adress = 'http://'. $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];

		if($adress == 'http://www.domain.de') {
			ob_start();
			header('Location: http://www.domain.de/de');
			ob_end_flush();
		}
	}

but i get error 301 too !!

i do not understad what the **** is going on :/

Sorry but this is beyond my RewriteEngine On skills. You might try on IRC or in another apache forum where there are experts better suited to help you out.
