Hello,

I would like to ask for help for how to configure the .htaccess to make URL redirection outside the Joomla folder. Thanks and below are the details.

Joomla folder www.mydomain.com/jfolder

URL redirection would like to create: www.mydomain.com/tnc
- I would like to have redirection to address : www.mydomain.com/jfolder/help/tnc
- "Request Only", "Decode URL" checked , correct?

I found whenever I enter a url outside the joomla folder /jfolder it just redirect to my joomla base direct, like this
TYPE: www.mydomain.com/tnc
GOTO: www.mydomain.com/jfolder
I WANT: www.mydomain.com/jfolder/help/tnc

I guess there something wrong with my .htaccess.

- jfolder/.htaccess (I use the Joomla default .htaccess)
#RewriteBase / (This is commented out)

- /.htaccess (Joomla default one with below customization)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?mydomain.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/jfolder/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /jfolder/$1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?mydomain.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ jfolder/index.php [L]
RewriteBase /
^^ Should I change it to "RewriteBase /jfolder" ?

Please advise and thanks a lot!

Hi Admin,

Thanks for quick reply.

I've done below steps and not sure if I left out anything as it seems not working.

1) Comment out the RewriteBase for both /.htaccess and /main/.htaccess , using a #
2) Setup and publish the rule:
From URL: ^/jfolder/tnc$
To URL: http://{siteurl}/help/tnc << I remove the /jfolder/ as the siteurl = www.mydomain.com/jfolder >>
Skip: (leave blank)
Redirect: 301
Case Sensitive: tick
Request Only: tick
Decode URL: tick

When I type www.mydomain.com/tnc , it goes to www.mydomain.com/jfolder/zh/

Not sure I've done something wrong? or because I am using Zoo as the frontpage / default page (this caused a lot problem) and ReDJ is the ONLY working extensions with Zoo (others, like Dynamic404, Qlue404 all not work!)? Or anything wrong with the .htaccess so the path cannot be passed to Joomla? FYI, I am using Falang (Joomfish like component for multilingual site).

p.s. The hits for the redirection = 0

Please advise.

Thanks, where can I find your email address?
