Posted in: #Drupal #Htaccess #ModRewrite #UrlRewriting

I have Drupal installed in a subfolder drupal but I want to access pages as it is in root folder: www.example.com instead of www.example.com/drupal
I'm able to have this working, but it's also working with URL containing subfolder, so I have www.example.com and a clone site in www.example.com/drupal.
What is the rule to forbid access to subfolder?

I want all URLs starting with www.example.com/drupal being forbidden.

This is .htaccess in / directory:

Options -Indexes

Options +FollowSymLinks

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^(.*+)$ drupal/ [L,QSA]
</IfModule>


And this is Drupal .htaccess in /drupal/ directory:

Options -Indexes
Options +FollowSymLinks
ErrorDocument 404 index.php
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm

# sites/default/default.settings.php and drupal_initialize_variables() in

I thought there would be a way (e.g. maybe something to do with subrequests) to determine if the URI being checked is from an internal rewrite (from a previous rewrite rule), but there doesn't seem to be AFAICT, so the solution I came up with checks the original HTTP request, which has some drawbacks (it's not URI decoded), but it works for simple cases:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
# Internally rewrite root URIs to /drupal
RewriteRule ^(?!drupal/)(.*)$ drupal/ [L]
# Capture unrewritten requests that attempt to access /drupal
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^(GET|POST) /drupal/
# Return status code 403 Forbidden
RewriteRule ^drupal/.* - [F,L]
</IfModule>


The match pattern for the second rewrite rule is probably redundant given its rewrite condition.

Try this, just add RewriteRule ^drupal/(.*) - [F,L]:

Options -Indexes
Options +FollowSymLinks

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^drupal/(.*) - [F,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^(.*+)$ drupal/ [L,QSA]
</IfModule>


Please tell me if it works.
