.htaccess + subdirectory issues
Hi my friends, I will try to explain my issue in the best way i can.
My main domain points to a structure like this. (www.armada-lusitana.org - LIVE)
*Root/www
forum
project1
project2
laravel
entry
Entry is where i have the "public" directory of laravel, because i dont want its contents to mess with forum, project1, project2, and others directories, some of them of several other domains. "laravel" its the laravel content, packages, views, etc...
When i access www.armada-lusitana.org, it goes to http://armada-lusitana.org/entry/, all is working so far... *My objective is to hide the "/entry/" from url...
*My attempt via ".htaccess" (Root/www)
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?armada-lusitana.org$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/entry/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /entry/
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?armada-lusitana.org$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ entry/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
*".htaccess" (Root/www/entry) - default laravel .htaccess
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
Options -MultiViews
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine On
# Redirect Trailing Slashes...
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ / [L,R=301]
# Handle Front Controller...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>
Now the issue, After this changes, after some searches on google, i should have the "entry" hidden from url, but its not. But this happens only when i open the website www.armada-lusitana.org or armada-lusitana.org, because it redirects or goes to www.armada-lusitana.org/entry/... If i directly delete the "/entry/" from the url, and clicke the buttons etc, it works good, and removes the "entry" from the url...
What iam missing here, my knowledge about .htaccess is not very good, so iam limited to copy pastes from google and alter them... maybe i need something more.
Thank you for your time to read, and for the help.

To simplify your setup, I would suggest first making the "entry" folder the root of your site and create symlinks to the other folders.
Level 2
What do you mean? Put the entry content on the root? That way i will have css, images, js, folders messing/mixture with the subdomains folders. What are symlinks?
Level 19
No need to move your content around. Simply edit your Apache config file to point the root folder to the entry folder.
Symlinks are essentially pointers to other folders located outside of the current folder. For example, you could store your laravel folder in /srv/www/laravel and create a symlink at /var/www/laravel that points to /srv/www/laravel/public

Actualy i cant do that, because the domain, is the primary one of the hosting plan. So document_root is public_html. Only way to do it, is to make it as sub domain, not intended. So i realy need to stick with the htaccess solution... Any more solutions or tips?
Level 65
You can still do that?
Symlink /public_html/laravel -> ../laravel/public
Level 2
Where i do that @bashy? My case would be maybe Symlink /public_html/ -> ../entry?????
Level 65
@Komayo Oh you've pulled out entry from laravel folder which was named public?
If you want a sub directory to be Laravel (removing /public from URL), you need to symlink the sub directory you want to the laravel public folder.
- Desired URL: example.com/laravel
- DocumentRoot: /home/web/public_html
Symlink /home/web/public_html/laravelfiles/public -> /home/web/public_html/laravel
ln -s /home/web/public_html/laravelfiles/public /home/web/public_html/laravel
Level 2
@bashy yes, i pulled it. Its working here. http://armada-lusitana.org/entry/
Entry subdirectory is the public from laravel, but i want to disable it from url via htaccess. The way i can access it via only http://armada-lusitana.org/
But iam having trouble configuring the htaccess.
Level 65
Did you manage to do it? I can't really work out what you've done or trying to do...
Level 2
@bashy if you dont mind, thank you for all your help and tips. Let me try to give you idea this way.
Follow these steps: 1. Enter here www.armada-lusitana.org. Result: New URL - http://armada-lusitana.org/entry/ (Because main domain is working in a subdirectory called "entry") 2. Click "About us". Result: http://armada-lusitana.org/entry/aboutus (Check URL with "entry") 3. At Address bar delete everything till "/entry/....." and hit ENTER Result: http://armada-lusitana.org/ 4. Click "About us". Result: http://armada-lusitana.org/aboutus (Check URL (PRETENDED ONE) without "entry")
My objective is to have this url everytime, but for some reason is not hiding "entry" when we enter the address first time, if we edit it, it works as its supose too. Seems some trouble with .htaccess file... I just cant figure out if its from the one at root of the hosting, or the one at entry/public folder.
Level 65
I don't see any issues... how do you get the /entry directory? No links refer to that on your homepage - http://www.armada-lusitana.org

Redirects are cached, yes. You should test it on something like cURL so you can see the response where no cache is used :)
Nice site anyway, I do a bit of gaming/community owner myself.
