Redirect one subdirectory to another subdomain - regex

Question

I'm trying to write a Rewrite that redirects a single subdirectory to a different subdomain on the same server. There are many questions on Stackoverflow that are similar, but I can't figure out how to combine them.
I've tried it with a simple redirect, but that, of course ends up in a redirect loop:
Redirect 302 /subdirectory http://another-subdomain.test.de/subdirectory
I've tried a whole bunch of conditions and rules to no avail. Here's what my initial tests looked like, but none of its parts seem to work:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^subdomain\.test\.de$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^subdirectory(.*)$ http://another-subdomain.test.de/subdirectory/$1 [R=302,L]
In a gist, I need to redirect a single directory to another subdomain on the same server. How do I do that?

# Example .htaccess file for TYPO3 CMS - for use with Apache Webserver
#
# This file includes settings for the following configuration options:
#
# - Compression via TYPO3
# - Settings for mod_rewrite (URL-Rewriting)
# - PHP optimisation
# - Miscellaneous
#
# If you want to use it, you have to copy it to the root folder of your TYPO3 installation (if its
# not there already) and rename it to '.htaccess'. To make .htaccess files work, you might need to
# adjust the 'AllowOverride' directive in your Apache configuration file.
#
# IMPORTANT: You may need to change this file depending on your TYPO3 installation!
#
# Lines starting with a # are treated as comment and ignored by the web server.
#
# You should change every occurance of TYPO3root/ to the location where you have your website in.
# For example:
# If you have your website located at http://example.com/
# then your TYPO3root/ is just empty (remove 'TYPO3root/')
# If you have your website located at http://example.com/some/path/
# then your TYPO3root/ is some/path/ (search and replace)
#
# You can also use this configuration in your httpd.conf, but then you have to modify some lines,
# see the comments (search for 'httpd.conf')
#
# Questions about this file go to the matching Install mailing list, see

### Begin: Compression via TYPO3 ###
# Compressing resource files will save bandwidth and so improve loading speed especially for users
# with slower internet connections. TYPO3 can compress the .js and .css files for you.
# *) Uncomment the following lines and
# *) Set $TYPO3_CONF_VARS['BE']['compressionLevel'] = '9' for the Backend
# *) Set $TYPO3_CONF_VARS['FE']['compressionLevel'] = '9' together with the TypoScript properties
# config.compressJs and config.compressCss for GZIP compression of Frontend JS and CSS files.
<FilesMatch "\.js\.gzip$">
AddType "text/javascript" .gzip
</FilesMatch>
<FilesMatch "\.css\.gzip$">
AddType "text/css" .gzip
</FilesMatch>
AddEncoding gzip .gzip
### End: Compression via TYPO3 ###
### Begin: Browser caching of ressource files ###
# Enable long browser caching for JavaScript and CSS files.
# This affects Frontend and Backend and increases performance.
# You can also add other file extensions (like gif, png, jpg), if you want them to be longer cached, too.

RewriteRule "^/unternehmen/(.*)$" "http://jobzzone-badkreuznach.dievorschau.de/unternehmen/$1" [R=302,L]
but the Redirect still doesn't work.

Theres RealUrl installed in the TYPO3 installation, and that appends the missing slash and redirects, but the htaccess Redirect does nothing it seems...

Answer 1

Since you do not have access to modify the VirtualHost, you could do it like this in a .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} "^test\.de$" [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} "^www.test\.de$" [NC]
RewriteRule "^/subdirectory/(.*)$" "http://subd.example.com/$1" [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} "^test\.de$" [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} "^www.test\.de$" [NC]
RewriteRule "^/subdirectory$" "http://subd.example.com/" [R=301,L]
This way, the redirections are only applied on domains test.de and www.test.de.
For these two (hence the option OR), if someone asks for /subdirectory/SOMETHING or /subdirectory it will redirect to the sub-domain.
Example based on my answer, following your comment
You want:
http://jobzzone.dievorschau.de/unternehmen/*
redirected to
http://jobzzone-badkreuznach.dievorschau.de/unternehmen/(the value of *)
Example you provided:
http://jobzzone.dievorschau.de/unternehmen/beinbrech
needs to redirect to
http://jobzzone-badkreuznach.dievorschau.de/unternehmen/beinbrech
The configuration becomes:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} "^jobzzone.dievorschau.de$" [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} "^www.jobzzone.dievorschau.de$" [NC]
RewriteRule "^/unternehmen/(.*)$" "http://jobzzone-badkreuznach.dievorschau.de/unternehmen/" [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} "^jobzzone.dievorschau.de$" [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} "^www.jobzzone.dievorschau.de$" [NC]
RewriteRule "^/unternehmen/(.*)$" "http://jobzzone-badkreuznach.dievorschau.de/unternehmen/$1" [R=301,L]
