I could use some help with mod_rewrite for apache. My new web host puts all of the sub domains in a folder under the doc root of the main site, I want to effectively move the main site's doc root down a folder, I know this can be done with mod_rewrite and a rewrite rule but I am not sure exactly how to do it. I basically want to rewrite all url's in a host to a folder other than the current one, can anyone help me with this?

Thanks,
Glenn

EDIT: would this work?

No, that wouldn't work. mod_rewrite uses regular expressions to filter what it should rewrite and how to do it.

Code:

What's it do? Filters for any number of any character [.*], groups that string into something you can reference in the replacement expression [(.*)], and wraps it in the magic start/end characters (^(.*)$]. The [L] signals to mod_rewrite that it should stop rewriting if the input url matches this one.

If you don't know regular expressions, I highly recommend learning.

This is still now working, 500 error pages, any ideas? I will be in IRC and for speed lets try to discuss there for a little bit.
