[Image Rewrite Bug] When Accessing Prestashop in SubFolder

[pxwee5]

Hello, 

 

I wanted to run Prestashop from the root domain but the installation is in a subfolder. 

 

My Prestashop 1.6.1.1 installation is in root/shop folder. 

 

I created a .htaccess rewrite file in the root folder to rewrite the root url (website.com) to display the contents for Prestashop.

However, the images didn't manage to appear. I suspect the second .htaccess rewrite (in root/shop folder) in Preferences > SEO & URLs > Friendly URLs did not take the variable from the root .htaccess

 

Some help here welcomed. Refer to the image below for more info.
