    text
    copied!<p>I have an image sharing website and I used to have a sub-domain for the images, however I had to delete it, so now I use a real path to the images:</p> <p><strong>old url:</strong></p> <pre><code>http://img.site.com/images/2013/03/abc.jpg </code></pre> <p><strong>new url:</strong></p> <pre><code>http://site.com/files/images/2013/03/abc.jpg </code></pre> <p>The problem with this is that I have a lot of images linked from other websites and search engines that are still using the old URL.</p> <p>The problem with the old sub-domain is that it's directory (<code>public_html/files</code>) and its name (<code>img.</code>) are different, so special configuration was needed to handle that and I got tired of all the problems that it was causing.</p> <p>Now I have created a normal <code>img.</code> sub-domain that is pointing to the <code>public_html/img</code> directory so that no extra configuration needed, however my images are still in the <code>public_html/files</code> directory.</p> <p>I figure all I have to do now is replace the new directory with the old one using .htacess somehow. I don't know if this is possible.</p> <p>My <code>.htaccess</code> is currently:</p> <pre><code>&lt;IfModule mod_rewrite.c&gt; RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^img\.site\.com$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(images/.*)$ http://site.com/files/images/$1[R=301,NC,L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA] &lt;/IfModule&gt; </code></pre> <p>When I try to call an image from a subdomain I get:</p> <pre><code>Not Found The requested URL /files/images/2013/10/15c100d1da3216850d6cceb4ce57eaab6d26fc92.jpg was not found on this server. img.site.com </code></pre> <p>My error log reports:</p> <pre><code>[Mon Oct 21 02:58:46 2013] [error] [client 85.185.229.221] script '/home/site/domains/site.com/public_html/img/index.php' not found or unable to stat </code></pre>
