Question

Right now I have a website with all the href and src point to /some/url. There’s always a slash in the beginning.

I’m currently testing the site using a subdirectory on the server, which has the address of http://somedomain.com/subdirectory/ (production would be http://somedomain.com)

Is there anyway to temporarily convert the /some/url from http://somedomain.com/some/url to http://somedomain.com/subdirectory/some/url without actually changing each of the href and src properties. From what I can make out of the base tag, it doesn’t work like that. Also changing the RewriteBase from / to /subdirectory also doesn’t work (Not too familiar with mod_rewrite, maybe someone can fill me in on that)

Answer 1

in .htaccess file in somedomain.com dir U can put:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule (.*) http://somedomain.com/subdirectory/$1 [r=301,nc]
