    Hi there,
    I am doing some htaccess redirects for some old existing subdomains. They are not in any particular format and have decent google rankings as the moment. I have created new pages for these and want to redirect the old subdomains to the new pages. Now I have not deleted the old subdomains and the folders still exist on the server and I would like to keep these without deleting them. I am using the following code:

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} myoldsubdomain.mydomain.com$ [NC] [OR]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} www.myoldsubdomain.mydomain.com$ [NC]
    RewriteRule (.*)$ http://anothersubdomain.mydomain.com/page.htm [R=301,L]

    Is this a proper 301 redirect for a subdomain?

    The problem I am having is that this does not work for my existing subdomains. It works fine if this subdomain doesn't already exist, but I would like to not have to delete the old folders on my server.

    Is there a way of doing this or will I have to delete all my old subdomains before this code will work?

    Thanks in advance for any help!
