public_html/naa2023/web
need to map this using htacess
### Method 1: Using Rewrite Rules
If you want to make `naa2023/web` your web root, so that accessing `http://yourdomain.com` loads content from `http://yourdomain.com/naa2023/web`, follow these steps:
1. **Create or edit the `.htaccess` file** in your `public_html` directory.
2. **Add the following code** to the `.htaccess` file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/naa2023/web/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /naa2023/web/$1 [L]
# Ensure the base URL is mapped correctly
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/naa2023/web/
RewriteRule ^naa2023/web/(.*)$ /$1 [L,R=301]
### Explanation
– `RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/naa2023/web/` ensures that if the request is not already pointing to `naa2023/web`, it will be redirected.
– `RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f` checks if the requested file does not exist.
– `RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d` checks if the requested directory does not exist.
– `RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /naa2023/web/$1 [L]` redirects all requests to the `naa2023/web` directory.
– The second rule ensures if you access `/naa2023/web`, it goes to `/`.
### Method 2: Redirect Everything to Subdirectory
Alternatively, if you want all incoming traffic to be redirected to `naa2023/web` permanently, you can use:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ naa2023/web/ [L]
RewriteRule (.*) naa2023/web/$1 [L]
This ensures anyone going to `http://example.com` will reach `http://example.com/naa2023/web`.
### Method 3: Updating the Base URL
If you want to ensure everything internally also resolves to the web root, add this:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/?$ naa2023/web/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
Let me know if you have issues related to the mappings or directory structure.
