My "htdocs" folder is set to this: C:\webserver\xampp\htdocs
All my folders exist in subfolders of this folder.
I have such another folder here: c:\MyProjects\project1
I need to htaccess rewrite so, when I write: http://127.0.0.1/project1/myfile.php
On my browser, I will see the result of "myfile.php" inside "project1" folder.
Is it possible?
Is it possible?
No, you can't rewrite a URI outside of your document root, C:\webserver\xampp\htdocs. And htaccess file sitting in that htdocs directory won't be able to point a request outside of the htdocs directory. Mod_rewrite isn't what you want anyways. You want to use mod_alias from within the vhost config or server config. Something along the lines of:
Alias /project1 C:/MyProjects/project1

My friend's dad asked me to change the design of his website, so he gave me access to his account and I created a sub-folder where I uploaded the new design. The problem is that he has forgotten the password to his control panel and I only have access to the FTP in the sub-folder. I'm trying to redirect the domain (currently going to the root folder) to the sub-folder but since I don't have access to the root folder I'm finding it difficult to do so.
I've already tried a redirect with .htaccess but since I can only upload the file to my sub-folder, it thinks the redirect is to a sub-folder within that folder, instead of the folder inside the root.
TL;DR...
I want to redirect 'mydomain.com' to 'mydomain.com/folder' but only have access to the FTP in 'mydomain.com/folder'.
Thanks in advance!
.htaccess applies to the directory that contains it.
You cannot change this if you have not access to vhost.conf files (what would change the base dir of the site) or to the parent directory’s .htaccess.
You will need to:
Reset your dad’s friend’s password and forget this redirect, changing the existing web files (the cleanest way), or
change the .htaccess file in your parent's dad directory, adding this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/?(.*)$ dir2/$1 [R=301,L,P]
This should redirect the user to dir2, hiding that redirect in the urlbar.

My localhost doest work till i do changes in document root.
I want default Document Root to be "/var/www/html", I have directory mediatest inside /var/www/html and I want localhost should point till "/var/www/html/mediatest".
but when i set default Document Root to be "/var/www/html" localhost points till html and I need to add mediatest directory name in URL and when I change Document Root to be "/var/www/html/mediatest" it works fine but I cant use folders in html directory.
How can i fix this?
You can do it useing htaccess.
Add below line to your htacess:
RewriteRule ^$ /abc/ [R=301,L]
Hmm... How can you imagine this? You want to open one directory and see files in another directorys?
I see two ways:
Put your files from html into mediatest
Setup your server to use virtualhosts and change your hosts files. For example, add mediatest.local and html.local and don't use localhost any more.
You can not navigate outside the document root.
You can make /var/www/html/ your document root and create an index file to redirect users to mediatest.
My .htaccess file is redirecting requests to the public_html folder.
For example, http://mydomain.com/file.html would show root_folder/public_html/file.html.
However, I would like it to show root_folder/anotherfolder/file.html instead.
Is it possible to do so?
I think you want
Alias /file.html root_folder/anotherfolder/file.html
In my application I have separate spaces for user and admin like
if www.example.com is my website, then www.example.com/admin is my admin URL.
I am using a .htaccess file in my root, and it affects some of the functionality in my admin folder, which I don't want to.
For example, consider below is my folder structure
..
.htaccess
index.php
admin
So if I don't want the .htaccess rules to apply within the admin folder, is there any way?
For people that don't have direct access to httpd.conf (shared hosting for example), just put another .htaccess file in the subfolder and set to the desired behavior.
You should be able to do this, but it does require write access to the httpd.conf configuration.
If you have access to the httpd.conf file, something like
<Directory /admin>
AllowOverride None
</Directory
should do the trick.
Also, note that using .htaccess files in the root directory (as you said you did) is not a recommended approach. You'd be better off moving the contents of the htaccess file into the proper contexts of the httpd.conf file.

I have an .htaccess file in the folder called folder and another file, called form.html in the same folder
When I try to reach the folder (by entering http://blablabla/folder/), it does block the access and I am getting an error 403 but when I enter the exact URL of the file http://blablabla/folder/form.html anf hit enter, I can access the file as easily as if I haven't put any .htaccess file.
Am I doing something wrong?
Am I missing something, should I use something like or
Sorry if the question is really basic...
.htaccess is a container for directives for your apache web server that apply to that directory and below only. What directives have you got in your .htaccess file?
The behaviour you outline above is how apache should behave with no .htaccess folder.
What is it that you are wanting to happen?
