Preventing .htaccess From Affecting Subdirs

[sunrunner20]

I currently want to forward my root page to a subdomain of http://main.**** however, when I use a standard redirect directive it prevents my other subdomains from working. I'm wondering how I can get around this problem. I think this problem can be fixed by saying not to applying this to all sub folders, however I don't know how to do this.

If you could post an example of what you are trying to do exactly, the directory structure etc. That would make is a bit easier to help you as well.

The directory is as such

.

..

.htaccess

{files for www.site.com}

foo (folder for foo.site.com)

 

 

 

When I use cpanel's redirect it causes the foo subdomain to become inaccisable. So, I need a way to redirect the main page to somewhere else without it afficting subdomains.

So that I have a correct understanding of what you require;

 

You want links to youraccount.com to be all sent to main.youraccount.com and leave sub1.youraccount.com and sub2.youraccoun2.com functioning normally. Is that correct ?

Yes, and I think the way to do it is through the RedirectMatch directive but, I can't get the regex right.
