Issue with subdomain redirection

[bmedia]

For some reason one of my sites is being indexed in a search engine as ww1 instead of www in spite of the fact I never used ww1 on the site.

To try and fix this I setup a ww1. subdomain and set up redirection from ww1. to www.

However, at the subdomain maintenance screen, I get a message:

Subdomain Redirection

ww1.mysite.com is currently being redirected to: ww1.mysite.com.

Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

Hello

Do you have any custom Mod_Rewrite rules in the .htaccess files within the account's home directory or below?

Thank you.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the response. Here are the rules that are in there.

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^ww1.mysite\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Let me know if there are any issues with the above.

You may want to temporarily remove those custom WordPress Mod_Rewrite rules to rule them out as the cause of the issue. It's possible you might have to modify your rules a bit to get those custom entries to work with standard redirect rules.

Thank you.
