Question

I have installed opencart in two folders – one is root folder i.e. ‘public_html/’ and one is ‘public_html/test/’. Both opencart contains .htaccess files.

The .htaccess file of opencart on ‘public_html/’ folder contains following rewrite rules:

RewriteBase /
RewriteRule sitemap.xml /new/index.php?route=feed/google_sitemap
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^?]*) index.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^abcd\.co\.in
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.abcd.co.in/$1 [R=301,L]

and the .htaccess file of opencart on ‘public_html/test/’ folder contains following rewrite rules:

RewriteBase /test/
RewriteRule sitemap.xml /new/index.php?route=feed/google_sitemap
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^?]*) index.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA]

The problem is When i open Domain http://abcd.co.in it will redirect to http://www.abcd.co.in, but when i open http://abcd.co.in/test

it is not redirecting

me to http://www.abcd.co.in/test

Answer 1

If You hit the URL

http://abcd.co.in/test/

the .htaccess file from public_html root folder is not taken into count if You have another .htaccess file in the public_html/test/ folder. You should extend the public_html/test/.htaccess this way:

RewriteBase /test/
RewriteRule sitemap.xml /new/index.php?route=feed/google_sitemap
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^?]*) index.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^abcd\.co\.in/test/
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.abcd.co.in/test/$1 [R=301,L]

This should do the trick.
