catch all with .htaccess

[stevie]

hi folks.. looking for help with .htaccess file

i've got a few domains that had hundreds of sub domains in a previous life.. does anyone have an example of .htaccess that will do a catch all with a perm 301 redirect?

i want to catch any traffic from "anysub.domain.com" and any "domain.com/any/dir/and/file"

cheers steve

This probably isn't a .htaccess problem it's a DNS problem you (or your web host if it's not your server) need to edit the httpd.conf to add lines of the form:

ServerAlias *.example.co.uk

If you've already got subdomains in the httpd.conf redirecting to directories, then .htaccess files within them can redirect to your main site.

For the other bit you just need something like

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.html

Which will redirect all requests to index.html

cheers! excuse my ignorance, could I edit the zone files in whm & accomplish the same thing?... i'd quite happily vi the httpd.conf file if I could access it directly..

thanks!

No.

But you might have to edit the zone file as well, if there's not already a line like:

*.example.co.uk. 14400 IN A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Note the trailing '.' after the uk

Then you'll need one.
