http - .htaccess redirect all pages under a folder to new domain

Question

I have some files placed under a particular folder in my old domain like this: http://www.olddomain.com/folder1/.

I want to redirect all requests that try to access files under this folder to a new domain. Example: http://www.olddomain.com/folder1/page1.html -> http://www.newdomain.com/page1.html

How do I accomplish this using .htaccess?

Answer 1

Give this a shot.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^folder1(.*)$ http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [L,R=301]

</IfModule>
