Right now the index.html of my website is loading from the root directory when someone enters www.mydomain.com in their browser, which as I understand it is the default behavior. I want to move all of my website files into a subdirectory (e.g. public) so that when someone loads www.mydomain.com, the index.html file it loads is in the /public/ directory on my server. However, I do not want the URL to change to www.mydomain.com/public. From there, if a link is clicked/, all of the files will be in the public directory. How would I go about achieving something like that
You can use this code in your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^((?!public/).*) public/$1 [L,NC]
