[SOLVED] Usea a sub-directory as root

[Champ4!*]

Hi guys,

 

I need to use a sub-directory as root with Prestashop, I not tried yet, so I need some help from you.

 

I already have a store using Prestashop v1.3.6 working perfectly, the only problem is that Prestashop is installed in a sub-folder called "/cl". Let use an example domain called "foo.com", OK?. So when you enter to my site, you type "www.foo.com", but you are redirected to "www.foo.com/cl" with a PHP redirect (302).

 

What I need is use this folder "/cl" as main directory, so you can surf my site but you will see "www.foo.com/category/103-product" instead of "www.foo.com/cl/category/103-product".

 

I imagine that I will need to set store folder to "/" instead of "/cl" in config, although is installed in "/cl" folder, and make a .htaccess rule setting "/cl" as basedir. Here is my main question, it will be any problem with Prestashop .htaccess? Specially with rewrite rules. Which .htacces will be executed? .htacces from my "/cl" folder with all rewrite rules of Prestashop, .htacces from root directory? both?.
