How to make subfolder the main folder for your main domain

December 3rd, 2007 | No Comments | Posted in server by dreamluverz

I’m organizing our server and wanted to make subfolder the main folder for our main domain. Here’s some code to do it from hostmonster.com

# Hostmonster.com
# .htaccess main domain to subfolder redirect
# Copy and paste the following code into the .htaccess file
# in the public_html folder of your hosting account
# make the changes to the file according to the instructions.

# Do not change this line.

RewriteEngine on

# Change yourdomain.com to be your main domain.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?yourmaindomain.com$



# Change ’subfolder’ to be the folder you will use for your main domain.

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/subfolder/

# Don’t change this line.

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

# Change ’subfolder’ to be the folder you will use for your main domain.

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /subfolder/$1

# Change yourdomain.com to be your main domain again.
# Change ’subfolder’ to be the folder you will use for your main domain
# followed by / then the main file for your site, index.php, index.html, etc.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?yourmaindomain.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ subfolder/index.php [L]
