Rewrite rule question for subdomain

Hello,

For my domain www.1cyu.com, I created a subdomain from the control panel of my provider. BNow I have www.cnn-news.1cyu.com redirected to www.1cyu.com/cnn-news

I would like the url displayed in the browser to be www.cnn-news.1cys.com
It is still displayed www.1cyu/cnn-news/index.php when I type www.cnn-news.1cyu.com

I am trying the following rewrite rule without luck.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?1cyu\.com
RewriteRule ^/cnn-news/?(.*) http://cnn-news.1cyu.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Hi,

Ask your provider if there is an A record for "cnn-news.1cyu.com" in the zone file. There should be a separate A record for your above subdomain like below:

1cyu.com IN A 10.0.0.10
cnn-news.1cyu.com IN A 10.0.0.10

Thanks to pointing to my mistake.

The config interface is Confixx Pro, in which I defined this:

1cys.com ---> / (root dir)
www.1cys.com ----> / (root dir)
www.cnn-news.1cys.com ---> www.cnn-news.1cyu.com/cnn-news (WRONG)

I suppose the first two are ok, and that I don't need any rewrite rule. Cool!
I corrected the third entry to
www.cnn-news.1cys.com ---> /cnn-news
and it works fine. Thank you very much for your help..

I meant www.cnn-news.1cyU.com :)
