Wildcard redirect subdirectory to subdomain?

[thripp]

Hello,

I'm trying to redirect addresses at http://richardxthripp.com/richardxthripp$ to http://richardxthripp.thripp.com$, where $ is a wildcard. So far I have this:

Code: Select all

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?richardxthripp\.com
RewriteRule ([a-z0-9-]+)/? http://$1.thripp.com [R=301,NC,L]

... but it always redirects to richardxthripp.thripp.com. How can I change this so it keeps the tail end of the URL?

Thanks,
Richard

Try

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?richardxthripp\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^richardxthripp(/(.*))?$ http://richardxthripp.thripp.com/$2 [R=301,L]

[thripp]

Thank you very much, richardk! That did the trick. I hope to never change my website address again.

Here's an example for anyone else reading: http://richardxthripp.com/richardxthripp/gallery goes to http://richardxthripp.thripp.com/gallery automatically now.
