Use htaccess to redirect subdomain to a directory

I had a subdomain setup with an A record, this subdomain is now no longer active, and is pointing to the root of the hosting account.

How can I create a htaccess redirect to direct the subdomain, shop.domain.com to domain.com/shop

As the subdomain now points to domain.com, if I use the following redirect it obviously doesn't work:

Redirect 301 "/"  http://www.domain.com/shop/

You can use mod_rewrite for this:

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

The RewriteCond checks to make sure that the hostname of the request begins with the string "shop." and if so, the subsequent RewriteRule is evaluated.

The ^ before shop ensures that it only matches the string "shop" if it is at the beginning of the hostname.
