Hi,

I am trying to write an htaccess file so that if i type in:

[url]http://mydomain.com/somestring[/url]

It will display in the url bar:

[url]http://mydomain.com/[/url]

Is this possible? I’m finding it hard to find an answer to this on other forums.

Thanks in advance.

You cannot only have mydomain.com and still be able to access mydomain.com/somestring

@DasherApr 22.2011 — In your main page you can load sub-pages, The outside world will only see mydomain.com

[code=php]
include ('mydomain.com/something/index.php');
[/code]

@mikeroqApr 23.2011 — The problem with that is you cannot link to pages. When you enter mysite.com/something your address bar will reflect that, if you only want to show mysite.com you cannot have any links pointing to mysite.com/something.

<i>
</i>RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^somestring ./ [L,R]

Success!
