I'm trying to have a secure area / login on our website for staff to access files, mainly company policies so pretty basic.
I've created a folder (outside the public_html) in the main directory, Called 'Staff' with a .htaccess file in it. I can't work out how to link to a .html page in this directory from another page however. Help please?

I have a website example.com with a subdirectory of example.com/admin/, I want to put a .htaccess file in my /admin/ directory so that if I create a link like this Home that it will stay in example.com/admin/ and not go to example.com/.
I know I could just do Home, but want an over all solution where I don't have to do that to all links, encase at a later time I decided to rename the /admin/ directory.
You can not do that with .htaccess. Because it is not on the server that it happens, but in the browser.
But it is possible to redirect some pages, If it is possible to recognize them, for example by name.
You can redirect all admin-xxxx.html pages to admin/admin-xxxx.html
I have been searching and looking for the answer to this for SO long now without any joy, I hope someone can help.
Okay I have a web structure of:
Main folder - This is where you first land prior to logging in. After you log in you will be either directed to a number of websites that are resident in a sub-folder called websites. The problem I have is that I would like the document root, say the $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] variable, to default to the root of the website folder that it has been directed to. You see I have a lot of $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] in my php code and I use the '/' slash a lot in the href on my HTML tags.
I have seen that I could accomplish this by adding a .htaccess in the root of eiach website folder but 1, would like work for my situation and 2, could anyone please help me with the code. I understand I can use the RewriteRule command but I can't get my head around it. My folder stricture is like this:
login (index.html)
websites folder
website1 (index.html)
website2 (index.html)
website3 (index.html)
I have tried many versions of using RewriteCond etc but non of them work.
If anyone can help me out here I'd be very grateful.
Thanks
Nothing you can do in your htaccess file that's going to be able to change the document root. One thing that you can do is create separate domains that you can make their document roots point to each of the websites folders. Then proxy to one of those domains.
That way the URL on the browser doesn't change domain names, and internally, you're proxying requests back to yourself and the individual website domains will each have their own document root.
My CodeIgniter structure :
public/
application/
system/
I don't want anyone to access http://exampble.com/public, allow only the application to access the resource. I tries to create the file .htaccess in directory with the content 'Deny from all', so the user can't access this directory. But my application can't access as well.
How can I solve this problem?
Please give me any idea. Thanks.
From its name, it appears that you're using the 'public' directory to store relevant images and css for your site.
If that is the case, then there's no way you can prevent users from accessing it, unless you don't want to serve images or display styling for your website.
You may however enable what's called hot-link protection which will check for the referrer for each request (not very secure, but thought it might help you out).
I installed Drupal on my website. It works perfectly but to reach the front page I'm systematically redirected to a page called "Index of" and I have to click on the subfolder drupal-7.12/ to reach the front page. So, the real url for my website i guess is
http://www.mysite.com/drupal-7.12
On my ftp server is organized like this:
Folder public_html
-> Folder drupal-7.12 + a file .htaccess
There is another .htaccess file inside the folder drupal-7.12
I know that I have to modify one of them but i don't know which one and what i have to modify ?
I hope that someone will understand my problem and could help me
Thanks

I would suggest that you remove the folder in drupa.7.12 and move everything up one directory. Basically you are set up as:
Mysite/drupal7.12
move all the contents of drupal 7.12 up one directory to your public_html folder
Or you need to edit the htaccess in the public_html folder to redirect you to that folder. But that is going to cause some issues in the long run.
Today I moved my website to a new hosting company (Verio). I've done this lots of times before, and I know that your website should go inside the "htdocs" folder.
Now usually when I use FileZilla, I can do a "Right Click" on a filename to get the URL of that file. This is the result of my root default file: ftp://test#test.com/www/htdocs/Research/index.php
However, on the web, the true URL of my default file is: www.test.com/Research/index.php
My index.php file is in the website root folder. Does anyone know why FileZilla would include the server folders "www/htdocs" as part of the URL? These folders should not normally be visible to the user.
OR, is this look correct?
That ftp url is correct. Your FTP account has access to the two folders (www/htdocs/) before the document root, as most hosting providers provide.
You are also correct to assume that http access is limited to the document root. (Meaning they cannot see www/htdocs/)
