Problem with redirect

.htaccess with html folder

[Shrike99]

Hi!

I contacted the support of my hosting company and they provided me with this .htaccess to do a redirect:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Obviously, if I'm asking for your help it is because it does not work correctly...

On my host though, my html files are by default in the .html folder, which seem to cause the problem.
So when I uploaded the .htaccess, I did a test and http://example.com/abc.html was redirected to http://www.example.com/html/abc.html , which of course gives me a "Page not found".

Any idea how to modify my .htaccessto make it work with this "html" folder?

Thanks!

Try changing the RewriteBase [httpd.apache.org]:

RewriteBase /html/

Jim,

I tried the :
RewriteBase /html/
instead of the
RewriteBase /

It gets worst, I get http://www.example.com/html/html/abc.html

So now there's 2 "html" when I want none.

Interesting, the problem might be with that "RewriteBase" line...

AH!

Got it!

I just had tu put my .htaccess file in my html directory! I should have think about it before...

So simple, it seems to work fine!

Thanks.
