.htaccess RewriteRule subsubdomain.subdomain.domain.tld到subdomain.domain.tld / subsubdomain

Question

Is it posible to redirect a sub-subdomain into a subdomain with the sub-sub domain as new folder using .htaccess rewrite-rule?

For example... When i go to 2013.archive.example.com I want to end up in archive.example.com/2013..

Already tried some things, current .htaccess is:

RewriteRule On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.archive\.example\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ archive.example.com/%1/$1 [L]

Unfortunately it isn't working. Any suggestions for this?

Answer 1

Changed it a but, currently using:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.archive\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %1/$1 [L]

and is working exactly how I wanted:)

For external redirect: (URL change in browser)

You can use this rule in your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess :

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.(archive\.example\.com)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://%2/%1%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

This will work provided DOCUMENT_ROOT is same for anything.archive.example.com and archive.example.com .

For internal forward: (No URL change in browser)

You can use this rule in your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess :

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.archive\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1%{REQUEST_URI} [L]

If they share the same root, then you don't need the archive.example.com part in your rule's target:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.archive\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /%1/$1 [L]
