Of course this will also be forwarding search engine friendly and search engine position (SERP) not affect.

One of the best methods to operate the route is the method of diversion ‘mod_rewrite’ Module in Apache HTTPD Webserver. Most web hosts with Apache web server supports mod_rewrite redirects by default and can implement this trick without problems.

To send a subdirectory in the root directory, must obtain possible. existing ones. htaccess file in the subdirectory / Subdirectory and all requests are mapped to the new site (zB. the root) correctly point. If the. Htaccess file does not exist, it must be rebuilt:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase / RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^xyz/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,NC,L] RewriteRule ^ xyz/(.*)$ / $ 1 [R = 301, NC, L]
</IfModule> </ IfModule>

Eeplace you xyz in the fourth row of the directory where your weblog, CMS, Z.A. are stored.

This line in the. Htaccess file redirects the / xyz sub-directory in the root directory called by. Stripping “xyz/” a .

For example, a visit to http://www.domain.com / xyz / index.html forwarded to http://www.domain.com/index.html, rather than a 404 Errors generate.
