Redirecting Subdirectory to Subdomain with htaccess

Question

I\'m relatively new to using .htaccess, and have never done any coding besides what I\'ve read online. I\'m using Bluehost, and I\'d like to redirect my blog subdirectory t

Answer 1

I wanted to add my two cents,

1) to answer the question above, this rewrite should fix it:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.
RewriteRule ^/blog$ http://blog.example.com [R=302,L]

2) but, I think this is not enough by itself, you also need to change DNS, so that blog.example.com is pointed at the right server, and this can be done by a cname similar to this:

blog.example.com  CNAME example.com TTL 1080

(not exactly how it will look, but use your DNS webinterface to set this up).
