Redirect url to another - php

Question

I am using an AWS EC2 instance to host a website. I have an installation under /var/www/html/xyz/ dir & thus if I have to access website homepage, I have to specify link as www.example.come/xyz. I want that www.example.com should be redirected to www.example.com/xyz
Any idea how can I redirect www.example.com to www.example.com/xyz automatically (httpd config or anything similar)?
I checked online but most of the posts are related to subdomain redirects e.g. redirect admin.example.com to www.example.com which is not my issue.
Thanks!
my .htaccess file is:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
# Some hostings require RewriteBase to be uncommented
# Example:
# Your url is http://www.yourcompany.com/xyz
# So "RewriteBase" should be:
# RewriteBase /xyz
Options -MultiViews
RewriteBase /xyz
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^api/(.*)$ [or]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .*/api/(.*)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .*api/(.*)$ api.php?_d=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.(png|gif|ico|swf|jpe?g|js|css|ttf|svg|eot|woff|yml|xml)$ [or]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} store_closed.html$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*?)\/(.*)$ $2 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . index.php [L,QSA]
</IfModule>

Answer 1

Another option is to change the document root of your site. If you are running Ubuntu, you should have a file in /etc/apache2/sites-available/YOUR_SITE.conf (maybe default.conf). Just edit it and change the DocumentRoot to point to your subfolder.

Answer 2

Create new .htaccess file with following code
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/$
RewriteRule (.*) /xyz/ [R=301]
you should have mod_rewrite enabled.

Answer 3

Use this code in your htaccess file, this will redirect the user to the subfolder without changing th URL www.domain.com
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain2\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule !^subdir/ /subdir%{REQUEST_URI} [L,NC]
Another method with URL www.domain.com/subdir
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ /subdir[L]

Answer 4

You can use the following code in Root/.htaccess:
RedirectMatch ^/$ /xyz
This will redirect
http://example.com
to
http://example.com/xyz
And you want to Rewrite http://example.com/foo to http://example.com/xyz/foo , you can use mod_rewrite :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/?((?!xyz).*)$ /xyz/$1 [L]

Answer 5

Hope this will help !
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} domain\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /subfolder/$1 [L]
or this
Redirect 301 /path/to-old-url http://www.cyourdomain.com/path/to-Try this new-url
