    Hi All,

    I am new to apache, trying to redirect the URL to an directory but unable to do this after a lot of googling also,

    my requirement is that when user hit to link

    http://you.yourdomain.com/

    it should be redirected to the http://you.yourdomain.com/abc_dir

    where my application resides.

    i am using the Apache/2.2.3 on CentOS 5.3, four applications running on this server, i want this for all my four applications which resides in /var/www/html/.. .

    Please help me out, any kind of help or clue will be really appreciated.

    regards,
    aman

    this below should work ( it did when testing it on my server )
    enter in .htaccess at / level of your domain

    Options +Indexes
    Options +FollowSymlinks
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^$ /abc_dir [L,R=301]
