Create a subdomain for an addon domain

    I have my hosting for site.com (public_html).
    On my hosting I have also site2.com which is in public_html/site2.

    I want to create subdomain.site2.com that has the content of public_html/site2/subdomain.

    How can I do this? When someone visit site2.com/subdomain he should be redirected (301) to subdomain.site2.com.

    Some help? :)
    Thank you in advance for any reply!

    Create a subdomain site.site.com and create a redirect via .htaccess.

    Try this one.

    RewriteEngine On
    Options +FollowSymLinks
    RewriteBase /
    
    RewriteCond %{http_host} ^site.com [nc]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.site.com/$1 [L,R=301]
    
    RedirectMatch 301 ^/subfolder/(.*)$ http://subdomain.site.com/$1
    Code (markup):

    Ok, I added this line:
    
    RedirectMatch 301 ^/subfolder/(.*)$ http://subdomain.site.com/$1
    Code (markup):

    ... to public_html/site2.

    and now it works. When I go to site2.com/subdomain/ I get redirected to subdomain.site2.com. Great!

    The problem now is that it doesn't load anything! I have a software that should start the install process when I visit the page, but nothing. Error loading the page. Maybe I should see if something is wrong in cPanel?

    Then point the subdomin to a subfolder where the script is installed.
