how to Remove Sub directory name from URL with htaccess?

Question

My URL was

http://demo.example.com/parentFolder/

but i have to redirect it to child folder, URL as

http://demo.example.com/parentFolder/ChildFolder/

i have redirect it in htaccess as

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?demo.example.com/parentFolder$ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/ChildFolder/ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /ChildFolder/$1 #RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?demo.example.com/parentFolder$ RewriteRule ^(/)?$ ChildFolder/ [L] </IfModule>

but didn't remove sub folder(ChildFolder) from URL. i want to access childFolder after redirect but want to hide childFolder from URL.

@starkeen i want to acess childFolder and also want to hide childFolder from url — hu7sy

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?demo.example.com/parentFolder$ will never match as HTTP_HOST means your domain name not the path. — Amit Verma

You can use these rule in parentFolder/.htaccess:

RewriteEngine On # remove ChildFolder from URL show in browser RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/+(parentFolder)/ChildFolder/(\S*)\s [NC] RewriteRule ^ /%1/%2 [R=301,NE,L] # add ChildFolder internally RewriteRule ^$ ChildFolder/ [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(?!ChildFolder/).*$ ChildFolder/$0 [L,NC]

I have applied it working perfectly but i face one more issue as i applied it for angular project, i have to change its base path also for index.html, when i change base path it doesn't get JS files etc what should i do for it except to write path statically. Thanks in advance :)

Unfortunately I don't know anything about AngularJS. May be, you need to add <base href="/base-path/" /> just below <head> section of your page's HTML to resolve js/css/images path.

i cannot share real URL here it's confidential. Although URL is like demo.example.com/ParentFolder/ChildrenFolder/ .
