and where should i put my .htaccess in root or in subdomain dir?

in the subdomain dir, because the root dir is not "seen" for requests to the subdomain

• different webspace accounts, root of subdomain is NOT equal to root of maindomain
  1. with access via local paths; .htaccess in the separate doc root of the subdomain
     

     Code: Select all

     RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*) /full/unix/filesystem/path/to/wwwdomain/somefolder/dir/admin/$1 [L]

     Try also [PT,L] instead
  2. no access via local paths - mod_proxy required, this will cause double traffic (once for your subdomain and maindomain)
     

     Code: Select all

     RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.domain.com.au/somefolder/dir/admin/$1 [P,L]
