how to make friendly URL point to a sub folder?

[joannaleng]

i have a website www.singaporepreloveditems.com

 

htaccess has been changed to point to the sub folder so i only need to type the above and it goes to www.singaporepreloveditems.com/preloveditems

 

anyway to mask ''/preloveditems'' totally?

[vekia]

it will be a bit hard because prestashop has got own .htaccess file and it is installed in this subdirectory.

why you don't want to move it to the root dir?

[joannaleng]

Coz I have like 5 sites on one hosting account. Putting it in a sub folder makes it look more organized

[vekia]

so you've got 5 sites on one domain?

or 5 sites on one hosting account with different domains?

 

if second option, you can point your domain to the subdirector

[joannaleng]

I have 5 sites on 1 hosting acct. and singaporepreloveditems is the main one.

 

How should I go about it?

[joannaleng]

yes, and are of different domains

[joannaleng]

i have changed the htaccess file as bluehost instruct. 

BlueHost.com

        # .htaccess main domain to subdirectory redirect

        # Copy and paste the following code into the .htaccess file

        # in the public_html folder of your hosting account

        # make the changes to the file according to the instructions.

        # Do not change this line.

        RewriteEngine on

        # Change example.com to be your main domain.

        RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?singaporepreloveditems.com$

        # Change 'subdirectory' to be the directory you will use for your main domain.

        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/preloveditems/

        # Don't change these line.

        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

        # Change 'subdirectory' to be the directory you will use for your main domain.

        RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /preloveditems/$1

        # Change example.com to be your main domain again.

        # Change 'subdirectory' to be the directory you will use for your main domain

        # followed by / then the main file for your site, index.php, index.html, etc.

        RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?singaporepreloveditems.com$

        RewriteRule ^(/)?$ preloveditems/index.php [L]

 

as well as SEO URL in presta: http://screencast.com/t/MCYCxQRd
