Why do you need a redirect if your document root points into that folder (bv) already?

Thanks, but using document root gives me a 505 Internal server error.

Let me explain better:

I've just inherited this site, so I'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). I currently have the following rewrite in the .htaccess file within the /bv folder

   RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite\.com$ [NC]

   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www. mysite.com/bv/$1 [L,R=301]

so when I browse to the home page, www.mysite.com, I'm redirected to www.mysite.com/bv  OR

mysite.com  I'm redirected to www.mysite.com/bv

BUT, when I browse to any internal pages without the /bv, I get a page not found. For example:

www.mysite.com/contact  will not redirect to www.mysite.com/bv/contact

Is there a wildcard redirect so any internal page is redirected to include the /bv ?

I may not totally understand your question but why don't you set your DocumentRoot to point into that folder?

DocumentRoot "/path/to/bv"

I have a Drupal site installed at /bv, so home page is www.mysite.com/bv

I want to be sure when anyone tries www.mysite.com/anypage, they get redirected to www.mysite.com/bv/anypage

Is this possible via htaccess?

I currently have this rewrite to be sure the www is included (needed for SSL):

   RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite\.com$ [NC]

   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www. mysite.com/bv/$1 [L,R=301]

Thanks for any help.
