.htaccess rerouting?

SniperGuy

So, I have the56k.com. I want it so that when you go there, the actual root the website displays is the56k.com/blog. My provider has an option to do this for 22 dollars, but I know I can do it with .htaccess, I just don't know how. I tried using

Redirect / http://the56k.com/blog/

in the .htaccess, but that rerouted me to http://www.the56k.com/blog/blog/blog/blog/blog/blog/blog/blog/blog for some weird reason.

Any ideas?

Use RedirectMatch instead. What's happening is that </> -> </blog>, </>blog -> </blog>/blog, etc. You'll need to use a regular expression to match only when the full path is "/". It's been a while since I've messed with redirects, but try:

RedirectMatch ^/$ http://the56k.com/blog/
