My Code won't work

[chriswragg]

I have moved my site to a subdomain called web. I want any attempts to request a folder, say example.com/news, to be redirected to web.example.com/news.

I have tried the code below, but with no success. Can you help correct this for me?

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^http://example.com/(.*)(/)? [web.example.com...] [R]

Thanks for any help

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)/?$ [web.example.com...] [R=301]

Hmmm, I think this should work for you, assuming I didn't make any typos. I'm sure jdMorgan will come in and make a change or two, he's always cleaning up after my mistakes :)

That's fine how it is :)

I would suggest:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://web.example.com/$1 [R=301,L] 

so that trailing slashes are not added to non-directory requests. (The start and end anchors on a ".*" pattern standing alone are unnecessary.)
