Question

I am trying really hard to grasp htaccess, but I am having a hard time figuring this one out.

Let’s say I have http://www.example.com.

I am planning on moving the entire site into a folder like so http://www.example.com/folder/

I created a folder and moved everything in it. How do I make sure that if someone finds me through google, they will be redirected to the correct page.

For instance, http://www.example.com/view.php?id=5 becomes http://www.example.com/folder/view.php?id=5

Thanks for any help you might give me.

If you want to redirect every request from example.com to example.com/folder including css, js, html, php etc files then use the following

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/folder.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /folder/$1 [L,R=301]
