Well, I need more info to find out.

1), where is the fr. sub domain installed physically on the server
2) where is the www. sub domain installed physically on the server

And then, is there an .htaccess where the fr. sub is linked ? and what is inside of it ?

Well your .htaccess does not seems to be able to redirect this way, unless it's linking a request to a script being the one to redirect us.

I need to know in what folder is the fr. sub installed, relatively to where the main domain (the one with www) is installed.

It could be because of it being installed inside the www folder or something like that.

As well, try playing with slashes "/" in your rewriterules. Some are like this :

i install it in (public_html/fr)

i make redirct now to fr

maybe it be reason Crying or Very sad

If the fr subdomain is installed in public_html/fr/

and assuming the main domain is installed in public_html/

There should not be problems if the fr sub's .htaccess is in public_html/fr/.

The public_html/fr/ folder, when it through the sub domain should be fully independent from the main domain's folder and settings.

It could come from your dns settings, have you tried adding a slash in your .htaccess ?

Redirecting
-http://www.sitenamecom/info

to

-http://info.sitename.com

can be done very easily, you just need to implement the www prefix redirection (method n°2) for the sub-domain, in the sub-domain folder's .htaccess.

You could use something like :

Well, that's what http 301 do, they allow PageRank transmission, obviously after the PageRank will be updated again.
But in this case, you're changing the contents domain (from the main one to a sub) so the final PageRank will depends as well on how this new domain is SEOed and backlinked.

But, you should take into account the fact you'd be loosing the games/ folder content on your man domain if you put it in a sub-domain.

Creating sub-domains can be efficient, but it's all a matter of proportion, you need the main domain, the one being the most linked to host the most content IMHO.
And you'll have to work on external backlinks for the added sub-domains as well to build up good PR.

sure the bad in sub domin more back links and more work

but its give more results to the site in results Smile

sure i build fresh back links every times

but another good something for subdomins is Sitelinks

when google find many links to your site in first page

when u write your site name that good to have site links fast maybe Laughing

I don't think so, at least that -http://www.sitename.com/foldername would have fewer chances to show up in site links than -http://foldername.sitename.com/.

I'll elaborate more while I'll answer to your post about site links, because so far, and that's what's your example shows, I saw far more site links being in the main domain than in a sub-domain.
I cannot find again an example showing sub-domains as site links, but I'm pretty sure I saw some, only it was on a really rare occurrence.
