Problem getting rewrite from subdomain to directory to work
5,839
Solution 1
As it stands, you are redirecting to the same host. ie. demo.example.com/file
is redirecting to demo.example.com/my-demo/file
, not example.com/my-demo/file
, which is going to result in a redirect loop. You need to specify an absolute URL in the RewriteRule
substitution:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =demo.example.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/my-demo/$1 [R=301,L]
Solution 2
put this in .htaccess
file in you're demo.example.com directory:
RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^demo\.example\.com [NC] RewriteRule (.*) http://example.com/demo/$1 [L,R=301]
i.e: demo.example.com is in folder root-folder/demo
put that .htaccess
file on folder demo, not on root-folder.
hope this work for you.
