redirect from www.domain.com/vb to vb.domain.com

Hi all

How to redirect from www.domain.com/vb to vb.domain.com
in the htaccess file I put :

Code:

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

and I added a subdomain from the cPanle to the vb folder.

but it didn't work! it gives me an Internal server error

is that problem from the vBSEO ?

please help

Hello,

the first line should be:

Code:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^vb.domain.com

dosn't work
when I type :
www.vb.domain.com

gives me
Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Is vb.domain.com working correctly though?

no it takes time to load but the site dosen't open

Please change the line to:

Code:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^vb.domain.com

it works now without errors
BUT..
when I type
vb.domain.com or www.vb.domain.com
will open the index site of domain.com not the index of vb !
and when I type any thread link like : vb.domain.com/t7656.html
will gives me not found error!

Does it open vBulletin index without rewrite rule in .htaccess? Perhaps you should reconfigure that subdomain to point to correct folder.

no it dosen't open vBulletin index, it opens the domain.com index
and my forum index in vb.domain.com

and how to reconfigure that subdomain to point to correct folder?

thank you

That should be done in your hosting control panel.

I created a subdomain to vb folder and still the same problem.

and when I removed the htaccess file, the subdomain works without any problems but without any rewrite rule?

this is my htaccess lines:

Code:

 
# Comment the following line (add '#' at the beginning)
# to disable mod_rewrite functions.
# Please note: you still need to disable the hack in
# the vBSEO control panel to stop url rewrites.
RewriteEngine On
# Some servers require the Rewritebase directive to be
# enabled (remove '#' at the beginning to activate)
# Please note: when enabled, you must include the path
# to your root vB folder (i.e. RewriteBase /forums)
RewriteBase /vb6
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^vb6.arabseyes.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://vb6.arabseyes.com/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^(archive/.*)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]

Hello,

first of all you should get your vb.domain.com domain working as desired (i.e. open forums homepage), then you can setup a redirect from www.domain.com.

when I remove the htaccess file from vb folder, the vb.domain.com works as desired.
but when I put the htaccess again, it gives me an internal error.

so what is the problem now?

thanking you

Try to remove RewriteBase line.
