changing directories in Apache

Question

I am currently using Apache on Linux. I've been working on an HTML project, but now need to run it on a server.

So for example, even if the root directory is "/var/www/" and localhost/index.html points to "/var/www/index.html" I can make localhost/project/index.html point to "/project/index.html"

Can I also do this in .htaccess files?

Answer 1

You want Alias, but that won't work in .htaccess files. You'd have to use mod_rewrite for those.
