htaccess Subdomain Redirect

Hi guys,

I just want to redirect the subdirectory to a subdomain, any help needed asap.

e.g.
http://www.domain.com/dir to
http://dir.domain.com

Or

http://domain.com/dir to
http://dir.domain.com


Thanks!

 

I'd like to know this one as well.

i don't know about doing this with htaccess, but in PHP its pretty easy.

Grab subdirectory, append to front of url, redirect to that new url.

 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain\.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ([a-z0-9-]+)/? http://$1.domain.com [R=301,NC,L]

Replace both instances of "domain.com" with your domain name.

 

A good explanation you can find here .htaccess subdomain redirect

 

Thanks for your useful link

 

I have a page:

www.mydomain.com/member.php?id=11&name=john and I need it: http://john.mydomain.com

any help appreciated

 

This should do it

Redirect /member.php?id=11&name=john http://john.mydomain.com

You can also redirect a sub domain to a page on your main site

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.yourdomain.co.uk$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.co.uk/your-page/$1 [R=301,L]

The $ conditions on the end will redirect something like example.yourdomain.co.uk/this-page to yourdomain.co.uk/your-page/this-page this is very useful if you move a sub domain to your main site. I had do this for a client.
