The admin setup a subdirectory /sites/default/files/resources and updated the docroot .htaccess to point to this subdirectory so that the domain www.example.com points to it. I do not have access to the docroot .htaccess

In the browser, www.example.com/resources shows www.example.com/sites/default/files/resources

What should I add in the subdirectory .htaccess such that URL shows www.example.com/resources and uses the index.html in /sites/default/files/resources/index.html?

docroot/.htaccess RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} www.example.com$ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/sites/default/files/resources/ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /sites/default/files/resources/$1 [PT,L]

  • What is in the docroot .htaccess? That isn't the type of change that would usually be made with .htaccess Usually you would add a VirtualHost to Apache and set the DocumentRoot for that virtual host to /sites/default/files/resources to have the files served from that directory.

  • DO NOT maintain your configuration in .htaccess files unless you really REALLY have to. It makes managing your site really difficult and impacts performance.
