I had http://example.com/intranet/ which I had to turn into http://intranet.example.com Unfortunately, everything was written with the absolute path so its like <a href="/intranet/timeclock">time clock</a>

So you see my dilemma. everything wants to go to like /intranet/timeclock

I tried some rewrite rules like

    RewriteRule ^/intranet / [R,L]
    RewriteRule ^/intranet/(*.) /$1 [R,L]

And others. No luck. I have looked at the other posts on server fault and tried some of them with no luck either. Andy advice?

Can you, please, clearly describe what you want to rewrite: from => to. Do you want to rewrite http://intranet.example.com/ into http://example.com/intranet/ ... or? – LazyOne Jul 13 '11 at 21:25
I would like "intranet.example.com/intranet/timeclock"; to rewrite to "intranet.example.com/timeclock"; – hforbess Jul 14 '11 at 12:36
MrTuttle already gave an answer (301 Permanent Redirect). If you place his rule into Apache config file (inside <VirtualHost>, for example) it should work fine. If you are going to place it into .htaccess file, then you should remove leading slash /. The same goes for your own rules -- in .htaccess there is no leading slash when pattern is applied to URL in RewriteRule. – LazyOne Jul 14 '11 at 12:42

RewriteEngine On

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