I'm no .htaccess expert -- I'm at the "I've read the docs and gotten
a few .htaccess rules working" stage. So take what I say with a grain
of salt.
1) You need to escape the periods in your regexes. It should be ^www
\.nwdyc\.org$, not ^www.nwdyc.org$.
2) Your rules will redirect traffic to ANY page at nwdyc.org to
nwdyckids.tripod.com. If that's what you want, fine. If you want to
redirect nwdyc.org/whatever to nwdyckids.tripod.com/whatever, you
need to do something else. You're using parenthesis to create a
backreference; you need to actually add the backreference back in,
like this: RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://nwdyckids.tripod.com/$1
3) I don't know why your IP-based rewrite rule isn't working. I've
never played with that.
4) Here's the complete, working rewrite rule for my site,
blog.sudosu.net:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.blog\.sudosu\.net$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://blog.sudosu.net/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
5) Here are some notes:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.blog\.sudosu\.net$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://blog.sudosu.net/$1 [L,R=301]
The above cond and rule redirect any traffic to www.blog.sudosu.net
(because some people think EVERY URL needs a "www" in front of it) to
blog.sudosu.net. The L means don't evaluate any further rules in
the .htaccess. The "R=301" means this is a permanent redirect -- your
browser's addrss bar should show the new address, not the old, and
search engines should replace the old URL in their indexes with the
new URL. That may or may not be what you want.

Well, DirectoryIndex works. So I'm assuming it is. I did put the
gibberish in and I got a 500 error, so it's back to troubleshooting.

First thing I would try is putting gibberish in your .htaccess
file, and see if you get an error when you load pages in the
directory containing the gibberish .htaccess file. If you don't
get an error, Apache isn't loading your .htaccess file.
If you DO get an error, you can take out the gibberish and
continue troubleshooting.

Hey, I'm using Apache 2.0.59 and I'm running into a bit of an
issue here. I just can't seem to get the RewriteEngine command to
work in .htaccess. I can get the other .htaccess directives
(DirectoryIndex, password, etc) to work but not this. I have
mod_rewrite.c in my list when I do httpd -l so I'm assuming I
have the module installed.
Here are the two entries I've tried but can't seem to get working.
Here I want to redirect anyone who types in that domain to the
tripod site. (Client request)
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^nwdyc.org [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.nwdyc.org [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://nwdyckids.tripod.com/ [R,L]
Here I was just trying to make the damn thing see my IP address
and move me over to yahoo.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^221.216.69.25$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yahoo.com [L]
Neither of these seem to work. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
