HTACCESS redirect from subfolder to php file in subfolder

Question

hello I have a website that includes an /admin folder in this folder I have a login.php file

How can I make it redirect the website.com/admin to website.com/admin/login.php using .htaccess inside the /admin folder ?

Answer 1

OK, this is even simpler and can be done like this:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/admin$
RewriteRule .* http://yourhostname.tld/admin/login.php [L]

Just adjust the domain name to your needs.

Answer 2

Inside /admin/.htaccess you can have this line:

DirectoryIndex login.php

This will load login.php if /admin/ is requested.

Answer 3

Try this:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule .* login.php [L]

This will redirect all request to login.php if 1) requested resource is not an existing file 2) requested resource is not an existing directory 3) requested resource is not an existing link 4) This will be the last redirect rule used

Answer 4

You can use only one RewriteRule with:

RewriteRule ^admin/?$ admin/login.php [NC,L]

Works with admin or admin/ or AdMin ...
