Rewrite Root Dir

[onlyican]

Hey

 

I am setting a website and the methodology we use, we have the Websites in a sub folder called /website

 

But page calls have to come from the root

 

For example

www.example.com/about.htm calls page /website/about.php

 

Easy fix

RewriteCond $1 !^website/
RewriteRule ^(.*).htm /website/$1.php [L]

 

But I have an issue when someone goes to

www.example.com

I want to load the page /website/index.php

BUT, I want to redirect / to /index.htm

Due to the fact that Search Engines will see / and /index.htm as 2 different pages

 

How would I do this?
