rewrite rule problem

i recently setup lighttpd on another ip for a client running litespeed as litespeed cant handle the flv_streaming or no equivalent. Anyway, the tube site used to be on site.com/tube , now its on tube.site.com. i put a redirect rule in htaccess like this
Redirect 301 /tube http://tube.site.com

It works right after litespeed is started or after I edit the .htaccess but a few minutes later it stops working.

Any idea what this could be?

No. Litespeed support flv streaming. and lsws 4.1 suport mp4 streaming as well.
refer wiki for detail:

And as far as the flv_streaming. It sure doesnt work default and the script Im using i think requires the secdownload feature as well to work. Would be nice to know how to get it working but all tests we done on litespeed with the script it could not do seek and such streaming features.

Maybe requires some modification or something, no idea but we tried litespeed for it and didnt work. Ill post the config here later and see what was needed.

the simplest way is to use jwplayer, and test with following code:

Code:

<embed

      flashvars="file=yourvideo.mp4&provider=http&http.startparam=start"

      id="player2" name="player2"

      width="320" height="240"

      src="player.swf"

      allowfullscreen="true"

      allowscriptaccess="always"

      wmode="transparent"

/>

player.swf is jwplayer. above code is to test .mp4 for lsws 4.1.
to test .flv, just change yourvideo.mp4 to yourvideo.flv

the video stream as well random seek, will be working.
