SOLVED Help with rewrite rule for subdirectories

[Spork Schivago]

Hello,

I posted this under Security because people are able to access some directories I don't want them accessing, however, it might fit under a better topic, I just couldn't find one that seemed to match.

Anyway, I have manually set up sub-domains, like cpcalendars.mydomain.com, and whenever someone visits cpcalendars.mydomain.com, they get redirected to https://www.mydomain.com:2080. If they visit cpcalendars.mydomain.com/somedata, they'll get redirected to https://www.mydomain.com:2080/somedata. This is good and what I want.

When someone visits mydomain.com/cpcalendars though, they see the contents of the cpcalendars directory. I don't want that. I want it so when someone visits mydomain.com/cpcalendars, they get redirected to https://www.mydomain.com:2080. I'm having trouble with the mod_rewrite rule though.

Here's the content of my /home/<username>/public_html/cpcalendars/.htaccess file:

<ifModule mod_headers.c>
  # Try to turn off caching for Google Chrome.
  Header set Expires "Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GM"
  Header set Cache-Control "no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0"
  Header set Pragma "no-cache"
</ifModule>

RewriteEngine on

# Allow .well-known through for Let's Encrypt.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/\.well\-known/acme\-challenge/

# Redirect http requests to https because we have free SSL certs.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^cpcalendars.mydomain.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/[0-9]+\..+\.cpaneldcv$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/[A-F0-9]{32}\.txt(?:\ Comodo\ DCV)?$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "https\:\/\/www\.MyDomain\.com\:2080\/$1" [R=301,L]

# php -- END cPanel-generated handler, do not edit

Here's the contents of my /home/<username>/public_html/.htaccess file:

# Tell the browser to check for index.html and index.php, in that order.
# if either exist, load that file by default.
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

<IfModule mod_headers.c>

</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

  RewriteEngine On

# AddType application/x-httpd-ea-php70 .php .phtml
# php -- END cPanel-generated handler, do not edit

Any idea what I'm doing wrong and how to fix this? I do not want to enable the proxy subdomains. Thanks.

I think I might have gotten it. This is what I added to the end of the Rewrite rules in the /home/<username>/public_html/cpcalendars/.htaccess file:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "https\:\/\/www\.MyDomain\.com\:2080\/$1" [R=301,L]
