Hello,
My old JR4 site was clustered, and there are still some links on the internet that point to the old "www1.domain.com/username" structure.

what htaccess or DNS edits can I make such that if a link with "www1" is clicked, my new JR5 site will pick that up, and convert it from "www1" to "www"?

For example, here's an old link:
JR4 - http://www1.ilovehousemusic.com/Michelle-Sanz/

And here's the JR5 link:
JR5 - https://www.ilovehousemusic.com/Michelle-Sanz/

But - You'll see when it redirects to the JR5 site, the URL changes to what you see in the attached file.

Thank you for your time,
Brian

Add something like this immediately after RewriteEngine on:

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

it was for "how to modify .htaccess file to always redirect to www" but the concept is the same for www1

You should be able to to add "www1.ilovehousemusic.com" as a ServerAlias in your Apache config file for your domain. Then use the technique Michael has outline to check for www1 and rewrite it to www.

Hope this helps!
