Question

I have tinycms application and how could I forward all traffic to document root?

Example:

http://<IP-address>/ADFADSF/adsfadsf --> /
http://domain.com/adsf --> /

Currently, I have this in my .htaccess

<Files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteRule admin/$ index.php?view=admin [QSA]
Options -Indexes

Thanks.

Using mod_rewrite:

RewriteRule ^/?.+$ / [L,R]

Using mod_alias:

RedirectMatch ^/.+ /

This will,m of course, render the RewriteRule admin/$ index.php?view=admin [QSA] rule useless, or at the very least, cause some conflicts. So you should either comment that rule out, or create a special exception where all traffic except admin/ gets redirected.

EDIT:

How Im gonna do that to make an rule except admin/ ?

Here’s one way to do it, I’m only guessing that this is the behavior you want. This stuff does not change, it’s fine the way it is:

<Files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>
Options +FollowSymLinks -Indexes

Add a:

RewriteEngine On

Then:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(index\.php|admin)
RewriteRule ^/?.+$ / [L,R]

RewriteRule admin/$ index.php?view=admin [QSA,L]

So putting all that together, you have the deny for accessing .htaccess files. Then you have your Options, then your rewrite rules. You need to turn the RewriteEngine on, then redirect any request that isn’t /index.php or /admin, then internally rewrite /admin to /index.php.
