I installed cms at Linux server 10.0.0.1/cms/. I want to redirect every visit to 10.0.0.1/pages to 10.0.0.1/cms/pages, while hide "cms" in the URLs.

Several attempts have been tried but failed.

1> edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

DocumentRoot "/var/www/html" --> DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/cms"

This only works for index page. Hyperlinks in the index "10.0.0.1/cms/pages" will become unavailable in this case, as /cms/pages no longer exist in the DocumentRoot directory "/var/www/html/cms".

2> edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Redirect / /cms/

This will cause infinite loop 10.0.0.1/cms/cms/cms/...

Any idea on this?

You could do this with mod_rewrite

RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /cms/$1 [L]

You can place this in your /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf inside the vhost you defined (if you have one) or in your <Directory> otherwise.

This will redirect all requests made to /cms/something to /something while still still fetching it from /cms/something.

  • Could you please provide more details? I edited httpd.conf to AllowOverride All, and then created a .htaccess file under /var/www/html, containing your scripts. It doesn't work so far. Commented May 16, 2012 at 9:03
  • It still doesn't work, even I place this in both <Directory /> and <Directory /var/www/html> :( Commented May 16, 2012 at 10:09

  • This method should work, although my final solution is just mv * ../, and modify some other config files. Commented May 18, 2012 at 3:07
