Magento 2 - New storeview redirects back to default store view - status code 302

Question

I created a new storeview accessible under the URL app.example.com

I added this to the .htaccess to set the MAGE_RUN_CODE Environment Variable to app if the URL app.example.com is called:

SetEnv MAGE_RUN_TYPE store
SetEnvIf Host ^example.com MAGE_RUN_CODE=default
SetEnvIf Host ^www.example.com MAGE_RUN_CODE=default

SetEnvIf Host ^app.example.com MAGE_RUN_CODE=app
SetEnvIf Host ^www.app.example.com MAGE_RUN_CODE=app

Then I changed the base url of my new store view to http://app.example.com/

Problem:

I created a new CMS page for the new storeview with the URL Key app-test. But if I try to access it via app.example.com/app-test, then I get redirected to https://www.example.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=app+test

I tried to reindex and flush cache, but it made no difference.

Answer 1

I figured it out. The problem is, that my domain points to the pub folder, but I added my code to the .htaccess in the root directory of magento.

After I moved my code to pub/.htaccess, it works.
