htaccess redirection not working in codeigniter

Question

I have my .htaccess code as follows :

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /annsenglishmediumschool
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+?)\.annsenglishmediumschool\.com$
    RewriteRule .* http://annsenglishmediumschool.com/index.php/%1 [L]
</IfModule>

What i need is when user types as (anystring).mysite.com should go to mysite.com/mycontroller/myaction/(anystring),to catch anystring in mycontroller. The problem is that it now takes www to the right as when i types www.annsenglishmediumschool.com it goes to annsenglishmediumschool.com/index.php/www ,

How to resolve this ? Thanks.

EDIT : My cpanel redirects shows as follows :

    Domain:(.+?).annsenglishmediumschool.com
    Directory: /.* 
    Redirect Url :http://annsenglishmediumschool.com/index.php/%1

Any wrong with this ?

Just add a check to make sure it doesn't start with www

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.+?)\.annsenglishmediumschool\.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^www
RewriteRule .* http://annsenglishmediumschool.com/index.php/%1 [L]

I think its taken as another website as its giving me this error when i types 'shops.annsenglishmediumschool.com' :"Sorry, the website shops.annsenglishmediumschool.com cannot be found"

Did you set up the subdomain? Search for "setting up a subdomain" in your cpanel or on google. Also, check this out

So is it needed to set up subdomains manually in cpanel ? Not work with .htaccess (when enter site as "subdomain.domain.com" )? i am in codeigniter ,so i dont know how its effective in setting up subdomains in cpanel

.htaccess works with apache -- the webserver -- it has nothing to do with CodeIgniter (although you can use both together). If you set up htaccess to redirect or point to a subdomain, the subdomain has to exist on the webserver for it to work. You set up the subdomain through your webserver/webhost; in your case you can use cpanel: docs.cpanel.net/twiki/bin/view/AllDocumentation/CpanelDocs/…

Right. You will need to add an entry to your DNS configuration for the domain. Can do a CNAME or A *.domain.com to point everything at your server. Then htaccess will point it to the shops controller.
