.htaccess not redirect subdomain to root path

Question

My root path is redirected automatically to another path like this

    http://www.example.com

goes to

    http://www.example.com/fr/home

i have put this in .htaccess at the racine of mywbesite

    RedirectMatch /$ /fr/home

My problem is that when i created a subdomain named

    booking.example.com

it is always redirected automatically to be like that

    booking.example.com/fr/home

how can i fix this to let only my subdomain point only to

    booking.example.com

Thank you.

Replace your rule with this code in your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/?$ /fr/home [L,R]

Then test this in a separate browser to avoid old browser cache.
