[Solved] htaccess redirect

[MikeJD]

I have set up my shop at www.interior-inspirations.co.uk/prestashop/ to get it working before effectively becoming public. I now wish the domain name www.interior-inspirations.co.uk to link directly to the shop. I am trying to use a 301 redirect in the htaccess file to do this.

I have tried several different rules but these either get a Firefox error that the redirect will not complete or the Prestashop 404 page saying the file is no longer available. Can anyone advise the correct syntax for this redirect?

Redirect 301 / http://www.interior-inspirations.co.uk/prestashop/
Redirect 301 / http://www.interior-inspirations.co.uk/prestashop/index.php
Redirect 301 /(.*) http://www.interior-inspirations.co.uk/prestashop/
Redirect 301 /(.*) http://www.interior-inspirations.co.uk/prestashop/index.php

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I have now sorted this using another method which actually works better.

For info I have changed the directory which the domain name points to in the Control Panel of my hosting package and in Prestashop I have changed the directory in Preferences to blank.

Hi, I need to do exactly this. Could you elaborate a little on which PS directory you pointed the domain to?
