Mod_rewite - do these rewrite rules work?

Question

Help, please. Can you tell me if this is the correct code to perform the following rewrites? I can't test this particular change like I would like.

This company has four domains in a single apache instance.

I only want to affect one - test.example.com.

I need this block to do the following:

1. if the host is test.example.com, any call to / needs to go to /admin/index.php
2. if the host is test.example.com, any call to http needs to go to https

    
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^test\.example\.com
    RewriteRule ^/admin/index\.php$ - [L]

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^test\.example\.com
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /admin/index.php [L]

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^test\.example\.com
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
    RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
        

Thanks so much, Lynn

UPDATE:

How about something like this?

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^test\.lifestylepubs\.com
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}$1
RewriteRule  ^/$ /admin/index.php

If your apache server serves 4 domains, then I would assume each domain is in its own vhost. If not, that's the first thing I would fix.

Then you can put your rewrite rule in the appropriate vhost configuration and not having to worry about much.

Otherwise your rewrite rules just need:

RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME}       =test.example.com
RewriteRule  ^/$                 /admin/index.php [L]

RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME}       =test.example.com        
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}$1
