Hello, i'm having some problems with some mod_rewrite rules that maybe someone can help.

What I'm trying to acomplish is:

When trying to access:
www.example.com/fr/something
It should redirect to:
www.example.fr/fr/something

I have this is working with the following rules:

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

Now the problem is that I'm also trying to do the inverse, that is:

When trying to access:
www.example.fr/something
It should redirect to:
www.example.com/something

The rule that I have in place right now for this is:

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

This is not working though.
With the second rewrite condition above I'm trying to say "when there isn't any country code subfolder it should redirect to the .com"



Any ideas anyone? I'm not too experienced with mod_rewrite or regular expressions so any feedback will be much appreciated.

Thanks.

In the first, successful, redirect, you are moving the contents of a French folder from a dot-com to a French domain.

In the second you want to redirect "something," apparently not everything from the French domain to the dot-com, but your RewriteCond is calling for the nonexistent /fr/ folder.
