The file structure looks like this root root/x root/x/y.php root/index.php .htaccess code RewriteRule (.*)

  • 0

The file structure looks like this

  • root
  • root/x
  • root/x/y.php
  • root/index.php

.htaccess code

RewriteRule (.*) /x/$1 [L]

What the htaccess file does is to remove the folder name (x) from the url so accessing y.php = http://localhost/y.php instead of http://localhost/x/y.php . This works but my problem now is the index.php shows something like this:

Index of /x

Parent Directory
y.php

I can’t access the index.php. I believe the x became the root folder.
Thanks for your help!

    First, you shouldn’t allow index displays like this on a public server … on your localhost it may be okay, but still, you can disable it in your .htaccess by adding this:

    Options -Indexes
    

    To address your question, you should probably add the following conditions before your rewrite rule so that the rule won’t apply to any files or directories that actually exist on disk:

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    

    This won’t fix the issue you have because the .htaccess is redirecting to a non-existant /x/index.php file … this is why it’s showing the index listing for the /x directory
