Hy at all

I know, there is a lot written in this forum about rewriting, but i did not found so far the answer to my question:

phpwcms is installed in a subdir, and i dont want to show the subdir path in the url. Is this possible?

I want: http://www.mypage.ch/index.php instead of http://www.mypage.ch/cms/index.php.

Thanks Pappnase

Hmmm, easiest way? Are there other ways? I am hosting multiple domains on my webspace, i really dont like to move all the folders and files to the root.

Well, it is more a cosmetic question. I have other things (fotoalbums ect) on the same webspace, and wanted to have the phpwmcs stuff in a subdir, so that i have separated all this stuff from the other.
I saw then, that many discussions about rewrite and subdirs are in this forum, i thought, there is a easy way within phpwcms to handle this.
I thought with rewrite i am completely free to define the path shown in the url, but it seems not to be like this.

But i see now the two ways to move it to the root or to point the domain to the subdir. Thanks for the answers.

Code: Select all

# www.somedomain.com -> sub dir
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} www.somedomain.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !sub folder/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ subfolder/$1

Adding this to your .htaccess-file should do the trick, but be aware that your server load grows extensively with it. Also if you have several different sub folders you shoud assign separate sub domain for each one.
