Redirecting Subfolder Installation With 301 Redirect To Subdomain Installation?! How?!

[CrazySerb]

This is what I've had up until now:

 

www.domain.com/storefront/....

 

as the store path.

 

But I've decided to replace that with

 

store.domain.com/....

 

instead.

 

Now, how do I properly 301 redirect / rewrite that so that any indexed item like:

 

www.domain.com/storefront/category/item.html

 

gets properly redirected to 

 

store.domain.com/category/item.html

 

Any suggestions???

 

And I assume I would put that rule in www.domain.com/.htaccess file, right?

I've tried this in www.domain.com/.htaccess file:

 

RedirectMatch 301 ^/storefront/(.*)$  http://store.domain.com/$1

 

And it seems to work.
