rewrite url to subdirectory on subdomain

I have all of my customers sites in a directory on my subdomain:

customers.example.com/sites/customer_name

I want to rewrite the url so my customers only need to write

customers.example.com/customer_name

I have tried some different htacces scripts but none of them works. And one of them gives me a error 500 internal server error, so my mod_rewrite is active

Here is my current .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^sites/(css|js|img)/(.*)?$ /$1/$2 [L,QSA,R=301]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /sites/$1/ [QSA,L]

Since the rewrite engine loops, this pattern ^(.*)$ will blindly match everything, including your rule's target: /sites/something. It'll continue to append /sites/ to the front of the URI until you end up with something like /sites/sites/sites/sites/sites/sites/sites/ etc.

You need to add some conditions to prevent the looping, something like this:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /sites/$1/ [L]

or

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/sites/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /sites/$1/ [L]

or

RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/sites%{REQUEST_URI} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/sites%{REQUEST_URI} -d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /sites/$1/ [L]

This should work… If understand your end goal correctly. But unclear if you want the content accessible from customers.example.com/sites/customer_name and customers.example.com/customer_name at the same time:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/sites/(.*)$ http://customers.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
