Quick htaccess redirect from subfolder?

[spaceboos]

Could someone please tell me how to use .htaccess to redirect the following:

mydomain.com/subfolder to
anydomain.com

I am sure this is a stupid question but I have been looking for hours and haven't found an answer yet.

Try this create .htaccess file in subfolder and paste the below code into it.

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http://anydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

 

[renzuken]

this is safer

RewriteRule ^subfolder(.*)$ http://anydomain.com/ [NC,R=301,L]

put it on .htaccess

 

[spaceboos]

this is safer

put it on .htaccess

do I put this in subfolder
or I write in subfolder / anydomain in my domain ,htaccess

 

[renzuken]

its should be on root folder eg. /home/user/public_html/.htaccess

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} www.somesite/blog/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/blog
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ blog/$1 [L]
