how to redirect all urls of the main domain to a subfolder ?

[sasori]

here's the structure of the app

htdocs
   somefiles
    myfolder
       /image
       /js
       index.html
       style.css
   protected
      /models
      /controllers
      /blahblabha
  index.php
  .htaccess

what i want to happen is any stuff that I type after my domain name, should get redirected

to the /myfolder

 

like e.g

 

www.mydomain.com -> www.mydomain.com/myfolder (with or without www)

www.mydomain.com/blahblahbalh -> www.mydomain.com/myfolder  (with or without www)

dev.mydomain.com/omghowtodothis -> www.mydomain.com/myfolder (with or without www)

http://www.mydomain.com/help-me-please-/how-to-do-this -> www.mydomain.com/myfolder(with or without www)

 

so how to do that in .htaccess ?

 

 

at first i tried this

 

 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(http://www.)?mydomain.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(.*)+$ 
RewriteRule (.*) http://dev.mydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^$ /myfolder [L,R=301]

 

but it wasn't able to cater for the stuffs that i typed after the main domain URL such as in my example above

This will redirect every directory request which not contains a file itself.

For instance /folder1, /folder2 but not /folder1.display.php

Try,

Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ /myfolder [QSA,L,R=307]

By the way, do you know any good online resource where I can watch "Naruto" with good quality?

I really like that

 

So according your topic:

 

www.mydomain.com -> will be redirected to -> www.mydomain.com/myfolder

www.mydomain.com/blahblahbalh -> will be redirected to -> www.mydomain.com/myfolder

dev.mydomain.com/omghowtodothis ->will be redirected to -> www.mydomain.com/myfolder

 

So can you be more specific, please? Or....which part of the code doesn't work? 

Thank you for the link above

[sasori]

nevermind , it got solved by just using

 

 

header("Location: to my chosen directory");
exit;

 

But i don't know why or how no matter what pattern I used in the .htaccess,

all the stuff that was typed after the slash of the main domain, shows "url not found in server",

maybe it's with the framework........moving on, atleast it got solved now without using .htaccess,

thanks for the time though...

He-he, I just forgot to add a dollar sign in my script here

 

Change:

RewriteRule ^ /myfolder [QSA,L,R=307]

to

RewriteRule ^$ /myfolder [QSA,L,R=307]
