If you have control of the apache configuration, please consider just changing where the sitename points to. That&#39;s a much more obvious way to accomplish this.  Point it into the subdirectory. Doing redirects in the htaccess is not really the place to do it.<br>
<br>On debian/ubuntu, this would usually be done in the /etc/apache2/sites-available. There are similar ways of doing it anywhere Apache is installed.<br><br>-Randy<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Nov 15, 2010 at 9:36 AM, Ryan LeTulle <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:bayousoft@gmail.com">bayousoft@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

<div style="word-wrap: break-word;">Thanks, but using document root gives me a 505 Internal server error.<div><br></div><div>Let me explain better:</div><div>I&#39;ve just inherited this site, so I&#39;m not sure why it was set up this way, but the full Drupal site is in the folder: /bv (DocumentRoot /home/mysite/public_html/bv).

<div><div><div>   RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite\.com$ [NC]</div><div>   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ <a href="http://www" target="_blank">http://www</a>. <a href="http://mysite.com/bv/$1" target="_blank">mysite.com/bv/$1</a> [L,R=301]</div>


</div></div><div>so when I browse to the home page, <a href="http://www.mysite.com" target="_blank">www.mysite.com</a>, I&#39;m redirected to <a href="http://www.mysite.com/bv" target="_blank">www.mysite.com/bv</a>  OR</div>


<div><a href="http://mysite.com" target="_blank">mysite.com</a>  I&#39;m redirected to <a href="http://www.mysite.com/bv" target="_blank">www.mysite.com/bv</a></div><div><br></div><div>BUT, when I browse to any internal pages without the /bv, I get a page not found. For example:</div>


<div><a href="http://www.mysite.com/contact" target="_blank">www.mysite.com/contact</a>  will not redirect to <a href="http://www.mysite.com/bv/contact" target="_blank">www.mysite.com/bv/contact</a></div><div><br></div><div>


Is there a wildcard redirect so any internal page is redirected to include the /bv ?</div><div><div></div><div><div><br><div> <div style="word-wrap: break-word;"><span style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: &#39;Century Gothic&#39;; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; font-size: medium;"><div style="word-wrap: break-word;">
