Url rewrite subfolder to root and forbid accessing subfolder
- by Alessandro Pezzato
I have drupal installed in a subfolder drupal, but I want to access pages as it is in root folder: http://www.example.com instead of http://www.example.com/drupal
I'm able to have this working, but it's also working with url containing subfolder, so I have http://www.example.com and a clone site in http://www.example.com/drupal
What is the rule to forbid access to subfolder?
I want all url starting with http://www.example.com/drupal being forbidden.
This is .htaccess in / directory:
Options -Indexes
Options +FollowSymLinks
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^(.*+)$ drupal/$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>
And this is drupal .htaccess in /drupal/ directory:
Options -Indexes
Options +FollowSymLinks
ErrorDocument 404 index.php
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm
