.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.

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...
