.htaccess redirect.

[Danthus]

What code do I need to redirect

http://subdomain.domain.co.uk

to

http://www.domain.co.uk/folder


Is htaccess the best way or should I just use the redirect option in cPanel?

Thanks !

Not sure if this is how most people would do it, but it's how I do it on my site.

Create a blank index.html page and then use something like this in your .htaccess file.

redirect 301 /index.html http://www.orderoftheflame.co.uk/blog/

OP, what do you mean by redirect? If you mean that, when someone requests the subdomain, you want content to load from the directory, then use cPanel; if you already have the subdomain set up, but want to have people who visit the subdomain forwarded to the directory (and have the directory appear in the address bars) then use the solution below.

Why bother creating a blank index file? Just do:

RedirectMatch ^/(.*)$ http://domain.com/folder/$1

…which gives the added benefit of redirecting, say, http://subdomain.domain.co.uk/foo to http://domain.co.uk/subdomain/foo
