HtAccess Rewrite Needed

Question

My host will not allow me to change the default folder of my primary domain. I have managed to Rewrite http://www.mysite.com to the real folder

public_html/mysite.com/www/

with the following code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ /mysite.com/www/ [R=301,L]

This does successfully load my domain from the subfolder, but the url becomes:

http://mysite.com/mysite.com/www/

How can I continue loading requests from http://mysite.com/index.html in the correct folder shown above, without showing it in the client-side url?

Answer 1

Try removing the R=301.

Answer 2

Try this one:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^mysite.com/www/(.*)  - [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ mysite.com/www/$1 [L]

UPD:

The line with the dash is required because after the redirect at line 3 Apache reads the .htaccess once again to process the redirected URL. The rule prevents infinite loop.
