Forward all subfolders/files to the root

[tuckker]

How do I redirect all subfolders/files to the root of the link domain.com?

 

Eg:

 

When user opens www.domain.com/abc, i want Apache (Tomcat to be exact) to redirectthe user to www.domain.com. This goes the same for www.domain.com/abc/abc or www.domain.com/abc/abc.html etc...

 

Thanks.

You need to create a .htaccess file and put the following in it. It will redirect all to the location you specify.

 

RedirectMatch permanent ^/$ http://mydomain.com/

Does this work in Tomcat?

[dclamp]

as long as you have apache it should work.

I used the code you suggested, and the outcome was:

 

accessing domain.com will redirect perfectly fine.

 

But accessing domain.com/abc will gives me 404 error...

 

If I change it to:

 

redirectMatch permanent ^(/.+)?/?$ http://domain.com/index.htm

 

Then it will keep entering a loop... any idea?

 

Also, how do I add an exclusion to a folder?
