301 Redirect Domain to Sub-domain?

Howdy,

LINUX SERVER

Is it possible to 301 redirect a domain to a sub-domain within the main domain?

redirect 301 / http://www.subdomain.com/

OR

www.domain.com to www.subdomain.com

we have a fully qualified domain name that is an ADD ON domain under our hosting plan. Done so that individual hosting for each domain is negated. However, we'd like to take the main domain and redirect it permanently to the sub-domain.

Thanks-

Yes, it's possible,

Redirect permanent / http://www.subdomain.com/

put it within <VirtualHost >, <Directory > or /document/root/.htaccess

Hi,

In my .htaccess file I entered this and uploaded it to root:

redirect 301 / http://www.subdomain.com/

Produces an error: page cannot be displayed.

Maybe You not allowed to override FileInfo
Can You verify that in apache's error log?
Also, do subdomain is the same virtualHost (documentRoot) as basedomain?

Yes... it's a folder in the root. It's also been setup as a subdomain.domain.com.
