Hi, Iam not a unix guy, Recently we shifted our servers to a new server for a particular section of our site.
so the new urls became:
server.mydomain.com/foldera From mydomain.com/foldera
Now , we need to redirect all contents from
mydomain.com/foldera
to
server.mydomain.com/foldera
I tried this code
[code]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain.com/foldera
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.server.mydomain.com/foldera/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.mydomain.com/foldera
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.server.mydomain.com/foldera/$1 [R=301,L]
[code]
But of no use
Would be grateful for any help :)

Have you turned on the Rewrite engine ?
Add this at the beginning of the directives:
RewriteEngine on

Try this:
Remove the * in the 'http'. (this was added to prevent the forum software from mangling the code)

With this stuff a single character or even a space can make the difference.
I personally have recieved and tried code from posters in this forum - worked like a charm.

This is what you needed.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain\.com
RewriteRule ^foldera(.*)$ http://server.mydomain.com/foldera$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.mydomain\.com
RewriteRule ^foldera(.*)$ http://server.mydomain.com/foldera$1 [R=301,L]
Your original code is supposed to test "HTTP_HOST" so the first line should NOT contain any folder names.
You were redirecting to a URL that also included a www on the front. That was also incorrect.
Your redirect didn't specify the names of any subpages when the redirect was issued.

No, the RewriteRule is testing only for ^foldera(.*)$ so it only works for a folder (or page name) URL that starts with foldera...
