Question

I am trying to redirect the document root to a specific folder (eg mysite.com to mysite.com/myfolder). However, when i tried, it still shows the default apache home page.

I followed the example here where I put

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/$ /myfolder/ [R]

in several sections like the Directory, Directory “c:/wamp/www/” and VirtualHost *:80 but it doesn’t work. I have switched on the rewrite_module. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Below RewriteEngine on, write

RewriteLog "logs/rewrite.log"
RewriteLogLevel 9

and restart the apache server. Now check rewrite.log file.

This will help you debugging.

for solution try this:

RewriteRule ^/$ /myfolder [R,L]

write this in you virtual host entry.
