Redirect domain root to "/site" subfolder

[rchau]

Hi,

I have my personal site in a subfolder of my domain, e.g. https://example.com/site.

Going to example.com shows the default Cloudron LAMP page. I want to redirect visitors to the .com address to example.com/site
I have created an .htaccess file in the root directory with the following code

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ /site/ [L]
</IfModule>

But this doesn't work; no redirection occurs.

I got this code from this Dreamhost article in the section:
"Automatically load a subdirectory"
https://help.dreamhost.com/hc/en-us/articles/215747748-How-can-I-redirect-and-rewrite-my-URLs-with-an-htaccess-file

I'd appreciate any help!
Thanks!

you have to create this in /app/data/public/.htaccess (not inside /app/data) . Can you double check?

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/990392/how-can-i-use-htaccess-rewrite-to-redirect-root-url-to-subdirectory has other ideas as well. If you want /site to appear in the browser URL, you can also do RewriteRule ^$ /site [L] (no trailing slash!)
