Moving Main Domain into Sub Domain Folder and Removing Access to Other Folders
I have an issue with trying to find the right .htaccess mod_rewrite commands to deal with a GoDaddy install that has multiple Installatron apps installed in their own folders in the public_html folder.
To illustrate - the main domain that the site hosting is registered at is let's say acme.com, therefore all requests to serve up anything at acme.com serve up the root of the public_html folder. If I then host an add-on domain (let's say helloworld.com) it sits within the public_html folder in public_htmlhelloworld.com folder.
This means that if I go to http:\acme.comhelloworld.com I get the add-on domain content from the main domain address. I want to find a re-write rule to prevent this behaviour and still serve up the add-on domain correctly.
I have seen answers regarding moving the main domain to a sub folder, which I have done. So now the file structure is:
public_html
public_htmlacme.com
public_htmlhelloworld.com
The below re_write rule which seems quite popular on hosting advice sites successfully allows http:\acme.com to work correctly, but does not prevent the http:\acme.comhelloworld.com issue
# .htaccess main domain to subdirectory redirect
# Do not change this line.
RewriteEngine on
# Change example.com to be your main domain.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?example.com$
# Change 'subdirectory' to be the directory you will use for your main domain.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/subdirectory/
# Don't change the following two lines.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# Change 'subdirectory' to be the directory you will use for your main domain.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /subdirectory/$1
# Change example.com to be your main domain again.
# Change 'subdirectory' to be the directory you will use for your main domain
# followed by / then the main file for your site, index.php, index.html, etc.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?example.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ subdirectory/index.html [L]
Any help would be appreciated as I still find mod_rewrite rules to be far too much of a dark art!
Thanks guys
