htaccess redirect subfolder to subdomain without changing url

Question

I want to redirect to the url localhost/anno to localhost/tut/anno

I referred this question

and wrote this .htaccess rule

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?localhost\anno$ [NC]
RewriteRule !^localhost/ /tut/anno%{REQUEST_URI} [L,NC]

But still i am getting 404 error.

What is the wrong i my rule ?

Answer 1

You can use :

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^anno/(.*)$ /tut/anno/$1 [NC,L]

This internally redirects "/anno/foo" to "/tut/anno/foo"

EDIT

you need to Reorder your rules like this :

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^anno/(.*)$ /tut/annotorious/$1 [NC,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
