Redirect subfolder to root folder

Apache is a wonderful web server and I love it because of its flexibility.

I had my site under subfolder and I decided to move to the root level of the domain.

The main challenge was to keep all articles on the same path as a subfolder.

Guess what it’s possible through RewriteCond in Apache web server.

This is possible through “.htaccess” or “httpd.conf” file

1. Ensure to take backup of existing file (.htaccess or httpd.conf)
2. Add below line and save the file

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^subfolder/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,NC,L]

This worked for me and I hope for you too.
