Create .htaccess after moving to subdir

[René Kuenen]

So I have moved my prestashop site from the root to the subfolder /shop.

The root is going to be used as a new, more static site.

 

Now i want to 301 redirect all the old links to the new /shop folder. Is this possible to do it with some rules.

I have tried some redirect generators, but they all end up with a separate line for each category / product. (4500+ lines)

 

The sitemap was the guideline to find all my links.

 

Anyone some ideas?

I would do something like this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/blog/

# Rewrites all URLS [Replace "domain" with the actual domain, without the TLD (.com, .net, .biz, etc)]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain\.

# Rewrite all those to insert /folder
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /blog/$1 [L]

the idea is posted here:

for rewrites, you are better searching without the keyword PrestsaShop to get better results.

 

I'd also try this one

These examples works fine as you don't wish to use the root directory. (And i do  )

When i create a index.html file into the root, and type www.mysite/index.html the examples above gives also the unwanted redirect to /shop.

sorry I assumed the domain name was only for the subfolder..in that case I don't know who to do 'bulk' in few operatives...my advice, don't move to folder..lol
