.htaccess rewrite to redirect root URL to subdirectory


Trying to get




www.example.com



to go directly to




www.example.com/store



I have tried multiple bits of code and none work. Please help!



What I've tried:




Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on

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

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+)\www.example\.com$
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /samle/%1/$1 [L]



What am I doing wrong?

  1. Try this:

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


    If you want an external redirect, set the R flag there as well:

    RewriteRule ^$ /store [L,R=301]

  2. You can use a rewrite rule that uses ^$ to represent the root and rewrite that to your /store directory, like this:

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule ^$ /store [L]

  3. Here is what I used to redirect to a subdirectory. This did it invisibly and still allows through requests that match an existing file or whatever.

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?site.com$
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/subdir/
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /subdir/$1
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?site.com$
    RewriteRule ^(/)?$ subdir/index.php [L]


    Change out site.com and subdir with your values.

  4. A little googling, gives me these results:


    RewriteEngine On RewriteBase
    / RewriteRule ^index.(.*)?$
    http://domain.com/subfolder/
    [r=301]

    This will redirect any attempt to
    access a file named index.something to
    your subfolder, whether the file
    exists or not.


    Or try this:


    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}
    !^www.sample.com$ [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$
    %{HTTP_HOST}/samlse/$1 [R=301,L]


    I haven't done much redirect in the .htaccess file, so I'm not sure if this will work.

  5. and you can easily do it without htaccess at all, with php

    create an index.php file and put in the code.

    <?php
    header('Location: http://example.com/subdir');
    ?>


    done and done.

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

I am using the slimScroll plugin for jQuery by Piotr Rochala Which is a great plugin for nice scrollbars on most browsers but I am stuck because I am using it for a chat box and whenever the user appends new text to the boxit does scroll using the .scrollTop() method however the plugin's scrollbar doesnt scroll with it and when the user wants to look though the chat history it will start scrolling from near the top. I have made a quick demo of my situation http://jsfiddle.net/DY9CT/2/ Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Why does this javascript based printing cause Safari to refresh the page?

The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
