In this example, I will redirect all requests from directory “olddir” to directory “newdir”, so that requests like http://www.yourdomain.tld/olddir/page.htm get redirected to http://www.yourdomain.tld/newdir/page.htm without loosing the Google pagerank of the pages.

The following rewrite rules can be added into a .htaccess file in the website directory or in the vhost configuration.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^olddir/(.*)$ newdir/$1 [R=301,L]

This rewrite rule redirects automatically all requests to pages or subdirectorys of “olddir” to the same page or subdirectory in “newdir”.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sub.domain.tld [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /sub/$1 [L]

This rewrite rule can be added into a .htaccess file in the website root or inside the vhost file. If you use ISPConfig 2 or 3, you can add this also into the apache directives field in the website settings.

Replace sub.domain.tld with the subdomain that shall be redirected and /sub/ with the path to the directory were the pages for this subdomain are located.
