: Subfolder won't permenantly redirect to subdomain Right now I have the following code to redirect all non-www URLs to www URLs: RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/
Right now I have the following code to redirect all non-www URLs to www URLs:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ www.example.com/ [R=301,L]
Besides that redirection, I also want to redirect all calls to /dev/ to dev.example.com. I've tried a bunch of different approaches but nothing has worked (the few that get close like ReplaceMatch will only redirect to the dev.example.com bit and will leave the rest as a query string).
Any ideas?
EDIT: Here's the full .htaccess for the root folder (a few rewritten for privacy reasons):

# For servers that support output compression, you should pick up a bit of speed but un-commenting the following lines.
php_flag zlib.output_compression On
php_value zlib.output_compression_level 5
The one in /dev/ is basically the same as this one, except that it has a password protection bit at the top and has a few redirects for some image folders that only reside on the root of the server.

So .. you have more than 1 .htaccess file: one in the root folder and one in /dev folder.
Where did you put rules from @Alex -- root or /dev .htaccess? Most likely in root. That is the reason why it did not worked.
Thing is -- if Apache sees rewrite rules in lower level folder, it will NOT execute them from parent folder UNLESS your lower level .htaccess has RewriteOptions inherit line: httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewriteoptions
Now, you have added the below code into the .htaccess:
RedirectMatch 301 ^/dev/(.*)$ dev.example.com/
This directive belongs to another module and gets executed anyway .. and it executes after mod_rewrite have already rewritten the URL. That's why you see real URLs after redirect.
The rule below should work -- just put it into your /dev/.htaccess
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^dev.example.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/dev/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dev.example.com/ [R=301,L,QSA]
It tells Apache to redirect if:
domain is not dev.example.com
URL starts with /dev/ (which will only happened if requested via main domain)
I've used the following redirect-code to rewrite any sub-domains to a URL-parameter:
# rewrite subdomain
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+).example.org$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=116&company_name=%1 [L,QSA,NC]
%1 is the regex-match for the subdomain;
consists of all other URL-params;
Play around with it, to redirect to a folder, like:
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+).example.org$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /%1/ [L,QSA,NC]
Try this:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?example.com$
RewriteRule ^dev/(.*) dev.example.com/ [R=301,L]
