htaccess redirect from root to subfolder and then mask the url?
- by KiwiCoder
Hello all,
Two things:
Firstly - I have version 2 of a website located in a folder named v2, and I want to redirect any traffic that is NOT a child of the v2 folder, to www.example.com/v2
The old site located in the root was created in iWeb and has a LOT of subfolders and sub-subfolders.
So:
www.example.com/v2 = New site
www.example.com/Page.html
www.example.com/category/Page.html
ww.example.com/category/subcategory/Page.html = All generic examples of what I need to redirect.
Secondly, and I don't know if this is possible, I want to hide /v2/ in the URL, so that visitors will just see www.example.com/page even though they are actually on www.example.com/v2/page
Links are hardcoded to the v2 folder, like so <a href="v2/contact.html"
Any help is MOST appreciated. I've spent hours trying to figure this out, but I'm only just learning about htaccess and regular expressions, and am totally confused.
Thanks so much!
