Ok I tried to read some of the tutorials in the top post but none of it makes sense to me and I have until midnight to get this sorted out. Heres my situation
I want to redirect my website to one of its subdirectories while masking the address bar to show simplified urls. For example, my site is set up like this
www.mywebsite.com/www/index.html
But I want people to only need to type in
www.mywebsite.com
and have it redirect to the sub directory while still only displaying
www.mywebsite.com in the address bar. I also would like to be able to have it do that with the subdirectories for the different sections..so
www.mywebsite.com/www/sol/index.html
would be accessible and displayed as
www.mywebsite.com/sol
Is this possible? My hosting provider does not allow masking, and told me to look up mod_rewrite with .htaccess to mask it. But that means very little to me. I could use some major help on this so I can launch my site for the New Year.
Thank you so much!
