Redirect subdomain to a specific file instead of a folder

Question

suppose i have a file like this on my site:

example.com/pages/live_report.php

and now i want when a user typed url live.example.com, it refer to above file without i to be force rename it.

how can i do that via htaccess ?

of course i try this rule that is recommended on Redirect a subdomain to a directory using .htaccess :

RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^live\.example\.com RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /pages/live_report.php$1 [L]

but this do not work

If it doesn't work at all, you many not have 'AllowOverride All' in the vhost file. Try something like

deny from all

to see if .htaccess is being processed

If you're getting redirected to http://live.example.com/pages/live_report.php you need to use a full URI, eg

RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^live\.example\.com RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/pages/live_report.php$1 [L]

Maybe this will help (not tested):

RedirectMatch 301 ^/folder http://www.mydomain.com/file.html

or this:

RedirectMatch 301 ^/folder(.*) http://www.mydomain.com/file.html

but when you have the sub domain, it has a landing directory? Put .htaccess there
