Redirecting folder to sub-domain

[Daniel Israel]

Greetings,

I am working on a site where we are using a subdomain (dir.domain.com). Previously, the users were accessing the folder directly (www.domain.com/dir), but we want to force them to use the subdomain.

I've tried to do it using the mod_rewrite, but having trouble. This is what I have:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain\.com
RewriteRule ^/dir(/.*)?$ http://dir.domain.com$1 [R=301,L]

It doesn't seem to be working properly, though. When I type in http://www.domain.com/dir/whatever.php, there's no redirect.

Any pointers appreciated. Thanks.

Try this in your document root .htaccess:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^dir(.*)?$ http://dir.domain.com$1 [R=301,L]

Thanks for the effort, but no change.
