Question

I currently have a domain/subdomain pointing to a folder called htdocs.

When the exampledomain.com is accessed I want it to get the files in /htdocs/dev/

Currently it gets the files in /htdocs/ and if the files that are in /dev/ they need to be
accessed with exampledomain.com/dev/

How can I do this? I don’t want to use a redirect. I don’t want this to reflect in the address bar. I also don’t want to change any server specifics as we’re on a shared platform. What can be done with .htaccess?

Thanks for your help! It is greatly appreciated.

The best and easiest way is just to change your pointer to point the domain to the /htdocs/dev/ folder. Shared hosting isn’t an issue for you even if you’re sharing hosting with a friend. Their root folder holds all the sub folders for the individual websites. Pointing your domain name to /htdocs/dev/ takes care of all your issues unless I’m reading the question wrong.. =)
