GeoIp redirect specific country Traffic to country domain?

Question

I want to redirect US country traffic to my country domain from mydomain.com. My website is in Wordpress and i would prefer .htaccess. i have applied the below code but it redirecting all IP addresses to mydomain.us. Will any body help?

GeoIPEnable On
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{ENV:GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE} !^(US)$ 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mydomain.us [R,L]
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

My Domains mydomains.com and mydomains.us has same structure like categories and post etc. i want to redirect mydomain.com traffic from US IPs to mydomain.us (but whole domain)

You should really check out the docs

In your case, try the following rewrite rule:

GeoIPEnable On
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{ENV:GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE} ^US$ 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mydomain.us/$1 [R,L]

this code is not working. is there any way to check that GeoIP is working or not? – muhammad usman Oct 30 '13 at 08:36
i ve VPS with Cpanel and i installed GeoIP module via WHM. I think GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE variable is not working. – muhammad usman Oct 31 '13 at 10:11
@muhammadusman I meant that you should try using a proxy to change the IP address of the request to test whether U.S. based IPs are redirected correctly. – Cafe Coder Oct 31 '13 at 10:33
Thanks i have tried different proxies and relevant country codes. but i think my module is not working. – muhammad usman Oct 31 '13 at 23:43

Your rewrite rules direct non-US IP's to http://mydomain.us.

If you want to redirect US IP's to http://mydomain.com try this:

GeoIPEnable On
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{ENV:GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE} ^US$ 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mydomain.com [R,L]

Or, if what you want is to redirect US IP users to http://mydomain.us, try this:

GeoIPEnable On
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{ENV:GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE} ^US$ 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mydomain.us [R,L]

It's always good to check the mod_rewrite docs
