Redirecting traffic using GeoIP and .htaccess

I'm trying to redirect web traffic from Argentina to a certain page from our website, and all the other traffic to a different page, using GeoIP and .htaccess.

This is an example of what I'm trying to use (in this example, I'm using only two countries, Argentina and Colombia.)

GeoIPEnable On

# Redirect Colombia
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{ENV:GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE} ^CO$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mywebsites.com.ar/index2.html [L]

# Redirect Argentina
#RewriteEngine on
#RewriteCond %{ENV:GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE} ^AR [NC]
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mywebsite.com.ar/index.html [L]

Thing is, it doesn't work.

I also tried this:

RewriteCond %{ENV:GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE} !^AR$

instead of declaring every single country I want to redirect, but didn't work, either.

Can anyone spot the problem?

Thanks in advance,

Ignacio

In your .htaccess, put following code This will redirect all traffic( outside of India) to https://newexample.abc.com 

<IfModule mod_geoip.c>
            GeoIPEnable On
            RewriteCond %{ENV:GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE} !^IN$
            RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://newexample.abc.com/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

did you try to do the equal the syntax used for Colombia ? 

    # Redirect Argentina
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{ENV:GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE} ^AR$ 
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mywebsite.com.ar/index.html [L]
    

I think [NC] is not necessary because GeoIP database is Uppercase (as I see on csv).
