I tried and tried but failed to redirect using .htaccess

Hi all,
I'm new here

I tried for over two days and searched, googled... I almost gave up

it's a debian 10 running apache2 and I simply want to redirect 2 websites

example1.com to example1.com/drupal with HTTPS -->works
example2.com to example2.com/oldhtml --> not working (no need HTTPS for now)

here is what I put on .htaccess I created inside: /var/www/html folder:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/drupal/$1 [R=301,L]

Thanks in advance.

I cannot see any rule for example1.com nor for example2.com, neither any rewrite to oldhtml. That .htaccess obviously does not solve any problems, as it affects example.com only, which is not given here. I really wonder that it should work for example1.com, there is no rule for example1.com.

You also should insert a condition if the URL already contains "drupal" (or "oldhtml" in case of example), then do not redirect, otherwise you will get an infinite loop of redirections.
