Redirect a subdomain to a specific directory using .htacces

I had a problem before and asked this question: Uploading PHP image using POST

I found out that my domain redirect was causing this problem. I used redirection (server emulation) on my domain panel which is unable to handle file uploads.

While looking for a solution, I found this: subdomain directory redirection with htaccess

I have included mod_rewrite module and tried this .htacces file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^subdomain\.domain\.de$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.de/sub/directories/$1 [R=301,L]

subdomain.domain.de has A-DNS record set to my server IP. My server root directory needs authentication, but the directory I want the subdomain to point to does not. I'm not sure if the redirect works, but when I open the subdomain it asks for authentication.

How can I redirect a subdomain to a different directory on the server without having the right to authenticate the user?

I was able to do what I wanted using virtual hosts by following this tutorial: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-apache-virtual-hosts-on-ubuntu-14- 04-lts



I also had to delete the .htaccess file. Apart from changing the ServerAlias โ€‹โ€‹/ Name and DocumentRoot in the new config file available for sites, I had nothing to change.

In this case, you should use virtualHost for the subdomain because your basic HTTP authentication is done before htaccess.
Another way, you can set up HTTP basic authentication in htacess file after RewriteRule, don't set up apache config file.
