Redirecting from a redirect?

[edwardmolasses]

Hello,

I currently have a redirect from one domain to another domain. The problem is the redirect won't go to a subdomain (i.e.

http://www.somedomain.org

redirects to

http://www.otherdomain.org,

but I want it to redirect to

http://www.otherdomain.org/subdomain

and this redirect should only happen for users who have been redirected from

http://www.somedomain.org).

I'm not able to change that original redirect so I wanted to know if there was some way that Apache could figure out users are coming from that domain (

http://www.somedomain.org

in the example) to my domain (

http://www.otherdomain.org)

and redirect those users to the subdomain (

http://www.otherdomain.org/subdomain)?

Any help or pointing to the right direction to find help would be much appreciated!
Thanks.

http://www.otherdomain.org/subdomain

does not look like a url for a subdomain to me. It should look like this:

http://subdomain.otherdomain.org.

Notice that there is no

http://www in

the url.

Ack, I'm sorry about that, I used the wrong terminology there. Rather than subdomain I just mean a directory in otherdomain (I'm not sure of the correct terminology for that). So the example is correct, but my terminology is wrong.

I am sure someone else will give the details, but I believe (if I understand your problem) you need to use rewrite rules that use RewriteCond with the tag HTTP_REFERRER. RedirectMatch cannot see the referrer string, and I believe that is what you need to implement the logic you need.

Thank you! I will look into RewriteCond.
