subdomain problem

I am Brazilian and I am using a translator. For the purpose of redirecting to the main page of a website that users enter wrong its domain. I created some subdomains like w.domain.com, wwww.domain.com, ww.domain.com, etc. However, when trying to create a www.www.domain.com for this same purpose I got the following response: "Sorry, www cannot be used in subdomains. It is implicitly added to all newly created subdomains. ". Wondering what the www is a subdomain created automatically and therefore the www.www should work, I created the DNS entries for the www.www.domain.com, and to work around the problem in cPanel subdomains I created the *. www.domain.com (with wildcard), still I did not succeed. The server to answer now, but I don't understand to what folder inside the subdomain points. See an example: - removed - To me this seems to be a bug. An unexpected situation. I appreciate any help.

Actually www is not a sub-domain that is added, its a cname record that point to the domain name... I think to address your issue, you can go into cPanel and add a sub-domain with an * (asterisks) so the sub-domain is *.domain.com and points to the /public_html/ directory... Now, in your site's .htaccess file, use something like this:


	RewriteEngine On
	RewriteBase /
	RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domain\.com
	RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

That will redirect the user to
