If you have a hosting control panel you should be able to add the forums sub domain without any mod_rewrite. Then remove the redirect.

hello sir,

in control panel already i added a subdomain forums.domain.com. I put forums in Forums folder under root. when i open my site http://www.postnread.com it will goes to http://www.postnread.com/forums, because i am using a redirection in root folder. In the same way i am using redirection for subdomain also. Now i dont want any redirection from my subdomain. I want to show my forums when visit to http://forums.postnread.com

Please Help me

i am using a redirection in root folder. In the same way i am using redirection for subdomain also.

Get rid of the redirects.

Now i dont want any redirection from my subdomain.

Normally when you create a sub domain you are either given the option to, or are forced to, use a sub directory for it's document root. Set that directory to the directory with your forum in it. (Or move your forum files to the directory you are forced to use.)

If your hosting does not do that and your sub domain goes to your main document root, try the following in a .htaccess file in your main document root

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^forums\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /forums/$1 [QSA,L]
