.htaccess rewrite to subdomain and redirect

[vexxy]

Hey guys,

I'm in a bit of a situation. I want to change my rewrite rules for a folder to a subdomain and then redirect old rules to new ones (for SEO).

So basically I have this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^news/index([0-9-]+)\.html$ index.php?page=pressrelease_homepage&pn=$1
RewriteRule ^news/$ index.php?page=pressrelease_homepage
RewriteRule ^press/([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)-([0-9-]+)\.html$ index.php?page=pressrelease_page&id=$2

I want to rewrite everything

http://www.site.com/news

to press.site.com and everything /press/ to press.site.com. After I do this, I want to redirect all old links to the new subdomain links. I tried several methods but I wasn't very successful.

Any help will be greatful!

For folder to subdomain mod_alias rule is the way to go.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/news/(.*)$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/press/(.*)$
RewriteRule .* [URL unfurl="true"]http://press.domain.tld/%1[/URL] [R]

After I do this, I want to redirect all old links to the new subdomain links. I tried several methods but I wasn't very successful.

Example needed of the request URIs and the URI they are to go to
