mod rewrite: domain.com/folder to domain.com

[joeld]

I host my default site in a subfolder in public_html
I use this mod_rewrite do redirect requests from domain.com to domain.com/folder in .htaccess:

Code: Select all

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   # Turn on rewrites.
   RewriteEngine on
   
   # Only apply to URLs on this domain
   RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?domain.com$
   
   # Only apply to URLs that aren't already under folder.
   # RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/folder/
   
   # Don't apply to URLs that go to existing files or folders.
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   
   # Rewrite all those to insert /folder.
   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ folder/$1
   
   # Also redirect the root folder.
   RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?domain.com$
   RewriteRule ^(/)?$ domain.com/index.php [L]
</IfModule>


But the links of my site are: domain.com/folder/link.html
I need to change it to domain.com/link.html

What I'm need to change in .htaccess to get it to work?

Mod_rewrite does not change the links in your pages, it works on the incoming requests only. You have to edit them manually.

This will stop it looping if you go to /abc.php and /folder/abc.php does not exist.

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine on

  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain\.com$ [NC]
  # Don't loop.
  RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
  RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
  # If its /, or
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/$ [OR]
  # if it's not a real directory carry on.
  RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /folder/$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
