Redirect subdirectory to subdomain

I am looking to move http://domain.com/blog to http://blog.domain.com.This also means that everything that trails /blog for example /blog/post/1 will need to be routed to http://blog.domain.com/post/1.

  1. Ensure that you've got content on blog.domain.com. Specifically, if you go to http://blog.domain.com/post/1 you get served the correct content.

  2. In the htaccess file in your domain.com domain's document root, add (preferably above any rules you may already have there):

    RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/?blog/(.*)$ http://blog.domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]

  3. If you actually don't have any content at blog.domain.com and it shares the same document root as domain.com, then you'll need to add these additional rules:

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^blog.domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/blog%{REQUEST_URI} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/blog%{REQUEST_URI} -d
RewriteRule ^ /blog%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
