I have Apache installed on an EC2 instance (with an Elastic IP). I successfully used NameCheap's DNS tool to configure routing of www.mydomain.com and mydomain.com traffic.

If I have a web application living at www.mydomain.com/MyApp, what steps do I take to route MyApp.mydomain.com traffic to www.mydomain.com/MyApp? I don't want it to be a redirect.

    Out of interest why not 301 redirect? Feb 19, 2013 at 20:54

I agree with @bybe. A 301 redirect in your .htaccess file would do the trick.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^myapp\.domain\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com/myapp/$1 [R=301]
