Question

I have my website in a subfolder from the main root.

http://www.domain.com —redirects to—> http://www.domain.com/Folder1/

using:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} domain.com [OR]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} www.domain.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/Folder1/ [R=301]

this is working fine…
I also have a administrative WebApp located on Folder2. Folder2 users will always enter the direct URL to Folder2.

http://www.domain.com/Folder2/Version1/

It is at the same structure level as Folder1.

Problem is that when I try to access my webapp, its not working anymore and redirecting it to the Folder1 website.

Question: What htaccess code do I need to add to keep my webapp (folder2) working by not redirecting it to Folder1, while still making all regular users go to Folder1.

Customer facing Website: http://www.domain.com/Folder1/

Internal Admin Website: http://www.domain.com/Folder2/Version1/

Answer 1

In Folder2 you should add the following line to .htaccess

RewriteRule .* - [L]

This rewrite rule takes precedence over the .htaccess in the parent directory.
