XF 1.2 Redirect subdomain to subdirectory on new server

[LPH]

I need to redirect all of the search engine traffic from community.tuxreportsnetwork.com to www.tuxreports.com/community. Most of the redirects found via search are for subdomain to subdirectory using the same domain.

Does anyone have a suggestion?

This is what I have in the .htaccess right now.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^community\.tuxreportsnetwork\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.tuxreports.com/community/$1 [R=301]

But this only redirects to the root of the XenForo install.

Sorry to bump - but does anyone have any ideas? The .htaccess redirect in OP does not work because it does not take the redirect to the particular thread.

@Jake Bunce - do you have any suggestions?

It looks correct to me. I might change [R=301] to [R=301,L] to ensure the execution of that rule is the last one to execute.

Otherwise please provide specific examples of old to new URLs so I can confirm your rules.

Thank you Jake.

If you go here then you can pick any of them and see that clicking on them goes to the index of the forums.

Thanks again. Sorry too - the site is under a Brute Force attack (day 5) and so I'm trying to focus on it too.

I'm now down to cloudflare as a reverse proxy ...

Well this sucks. While trying to handle the stupid bot doing brute force on the site ... I get the email from Google Webmaster Tools stating "Googlebot can't access your site" message that I was anticipating.

Googlebot has recorded several thousand attempts to go to community.tuxreportsnetwork.com and cannot ...
