If you have control of the apache configuration, please consider just changing where the sitename points to. That'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.
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. -Randy On Mon, Nov 15, 2010 at 9:36 AM, Ryan LeTulle <[email protected]> wrote: > Why do you need a redirect if your document root points into that folder > (bv) already? > > Ryan LeTulle > > bayousoft.com <http://www.bayousoft.com> > twitter.com/bayousoft <http://www.twitter.com/bayousoft> > > > > > > On Mon, Nov 15, 2010 at 10:23 AM, Lynn Stott (Stott Design) < > [email protected]> wrote: > >> 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).
