I recently moved my main website into a new folder:
The websites was in www.example.com.
The website is now in www.example.com/website

My problem is that alot of the links in the old site were direct links (not relative) ie www.example.com/documents/example.pdf

This is a problem because the same pdf is now in www.example.com/website/documents/example.pdf

Is there a way to intercept requests going from www.example.com/website to www.example.com/ and add the /website/ part on?

Wondering if this can be accomplished with a .htaccess rule

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/website/
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://www.example.com/website%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

    Small note: I suggest using 302 code for testing and when you are happy with results change it to 301 (where required, of course). The reason — modern browsers do cache 301 redirects .. so it may work already, but you still may see cached result.
