Unable to get an htaccess redirect to work?
 

Hi guys,

I have my store setup under /shop and since I no longer want to use a cover page I was trying to redirect my primary domain to the subdirectory via htaccess. However, each variation I've attempted has resulted in the store loading but giving me a Page Not Found.

As a side note to this, I have other domain redirects pointing to /shop and they work fine, it seems to only be the primary domain redirect causing this issue.

For reference, I'm using XC v5.2.13

This is the basic redirect I used:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?url.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ shop [L]


And I've also tried:

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

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/shop/

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

# Change 'subfolder' to be the folder you will use for your main domain.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /subfolder/$1

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?url.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ shop/ [L]



Can anyone pleeeeease help with this issue?

Why don't you just move the site in root instead of trying to redirect it like this?

Mostly because I expected the htaccess to be the quick and painless solution... haha

I did consider it though, was just concerned it may cause too many issues. Think that's the better option?

Yes move it root. No need to redirects. And SE do not like redirects like this

It can be :D/ .... just depends on your own Apache version / setup but it's simple to apply this:


That's the root to your shop sub-directory - easy.

cflsystems advise is better longterm, but if you're currently short of time...

Ahhh well, thanks for the info!

I was in a bit of a rush, but I took CFL's advice and went ahead and did the transfer. It ended up being pretty painless thankfully. :mrgreen:
