Htaccess rewrite/redirect help needed

Server Config
1

Ok - I am trying to make it so that the following occurs. Unfortunately, just adding the two lines at the end of the code for iPad doesn’t work. Help!!!

  1. When you visit on a phone device, the browser should go to: http://mobile.sitename.com, which is the mobile site.
    a. When you tap full website, it should go to the full site on the phone device.
  2. When you visit the site on an iPad/paddish device, the browser should go to: http://www.sitename.com/mobile/ipad/
    a. When you tap full website on the iPad, it should go to the full site on the iPad device.

WDG,

Three things:

  1. The last TWO RewriteCond statements are not OR’d (the next to last should be because it’s currently ANDed with the last one.

  2. The ^(.*)$ isn’t used in the redirection (why capture something then not use it?) so you’ve stripped off the {REQUEST_URI}

  3. Only @iPad@ gets redirected to mobile/ipad/? Why the garbage on either side of iPad, why not NC and why aren’t you telling the ipad directory what file(s) are being requested?

Fix those things and you’ll be on your way.

Regards,

DK
