Changing rewrite rules and redirecting to new ones

I have a small problem. I want to change my rewrite rules for a folder to a subdomain and then redirect old rules to new ones

So basically I have this:

RewriteRule ^news/index([0-9-]+)\.html$ index.php?page=pressrelease_homepage&pn=$1
RewriteRule ^news/$ index.php?page=pressrelease_homepage
RewriteRule ^press/([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)-([0-9-]+)\.html$ index.php?page=pressrelease_page&id=$2

Code (markup):

I want to rewrite everything /news to press.domain.com and everything /press/ to press.domain.com. After I do this, I want to redirect all old links to the new subdomain links. I tried several methods but I wasn't very successful.

Any ideeas?

 

anyone has any idea?

 

everything /news to press.domain.com:

RewriteRule ^news/$ http://press.domain.com/

Code (markup):

www.domain.com/news/ will redirect to http://press.domain.com

everything /press/ to press.domain.com:

RewriteRule ^press/$ http://press.domain.com/

Code (markup):

www.domain.com/press/ will redirect to http://press.domain.com/

redirect all /news/xxx and /press/xxx to press.domain.com/xxx

RewriteRule ^news/([A-Z­a-z­0-9­-]+)/?$ http://press.domain.com/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^press/([A-Z­a-z­0-9­-]+)/?$ http://press.domain.com/$1 [L]

I HAVENT tested. This was based on memory + referencing the mod_rewrite Cheat Sheet. If you haven't, download a copy: http://www.cheatography.com/davechild/cheat-sheets/mod-rewrite/

 

sorry for the late response...was off for the weekend.

I tried your rules, but none of them would do anything. I also looked on the cheat sheet..but I couldn't get any help from it. I'm also a beginner and...this is all relatively new for me, that's why I need some help. Tnx again

 

Is that your full .htaccess rules? Are you setting "RewriteEngine On" before those?

 

here's the .htacess rules

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^news/index([0-9-]+)\.html$ index.php?page=pressrelease_homepage&pn=$1
RewriteRule ^news/$ index.php?page=pressrelease_homepage
RewriteRule ^press/([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)-([0-9-]+)\.html$ index.php?page=pressrelease_page&id=$2
