Review my .htaccess I can't seem to make it work.

Question

Hi

Please review my .htaccess code below. The code below was suggested by I User here (Thanks for the code Gumbo), And I can't seem to make it work.

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]+\ /myadmin[/\s] [NC]
RewriteRule ^myadmin - [NC,L,R=404]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =myadmin.movietunie.com [NC]
RewriteRule !^myadmin/ /home/movietun/public_html/movie_tunie/myadmin/%{REQUEST_URI} [L]

What I want to happen, In my domain (www.movietunie.com) I have a folder named (myadmin) and can be access by going to (www.movietunie.com/myadmin). Now there are a lot of user keep accessing that folder. I want to minimize it by changing the structure of it.

I want (myadmin) to be access in a subdomain structure instead of '/' so it would be something like this (myadmin.movietunie.com), Now when the try to access (www.movietunie.com/myadmin) from a browser they will get an error, But the folder structure will still remain.

Hope this make sense

Thank You!

Something like this should work:

RewriteRule ^myadmin - [NC,L,R=404]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} myadmin.movietunie.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /myadmin/$1 [L]

Why don't you set up two virtual hosts for this purpose? Something like

Listen 80
NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName www.movietunie.com
  ServerAlias movietunie.com
  DocumentRoot /home/movietun/public_html/movie_tunie/

  Redirect 301 /myadmin* http://myadmin.movietunie.com
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName myadmin.movietunie.com
  DocumentRoot /home/movietun/public_html/movie_tunie/myadmin/
</VirtualHost>
