Apache Virtual Host redirect to document root directory

Question

I have successfully set the DocumentRoot for a given server names:

<VirtualHost *:80>
 DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/domain1"
 ServerName www.domain1.com
 ServerAlias *.domain1.com
#Other directives here
</VirtualHost>

I can't seem to figure out, how to move the subfolders ie."www.domain1.com/contact-us" so it presents index.html located in "/var/www/html/domain1".

I tried adding the alias for the /contact-us in the VirtualHost instructions:

<VirtualHost *:80>
     DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/domain1"
     ServerName www.domain1.com
     ServerAlias *.domain1.com
    #Other directives here
     Alias /contact-us /var/www/html/domain1
    </VirtualHost>

It doesn't work as expected.

I am thinking doing this via .htaccess in the subfolder for the domain1. How would I go around redirecting everything after the domain name to the index.html?

Answer 1

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^subdirectory/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^about-us/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^contact/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^subfolder/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,NC,L]

Test out this code, make sure the change the folder names.

EDIT

This must be in your .htaccess in your web directory root folder.
