Drupal in redirected site folder not working My web host directs traffic to the main public_html folder on the site for my main site. `  

However, I want my main site to redirect to a subfolder for organizational reasons, so I can easily manage just the main site files within that folder.  Therefore I want to redirect to public_html\mysite.com

I have created a .htaccess in the public_html folder that DOES redirect properly when I just point it to a test index.html file.  However, when I try to point to index.php of for my drupal installation, I get the following :

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@mysite.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Here is my .htaccess which lives in the public_html

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?&lt;mysite&gt;.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/&lt;mysite&gt;.com/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /&lt;mysite&gt;.com/$1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?&lt;mysite&gt;.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ &lt;mysite&gt;.com/production/dev-code/index.php [L]


Do I need to modify the .htaccess in \public_html\mysite.com` somehow for drupal to load?  I don't have access to the server error log.
Just add a rewriteBase to your .htaccess file

RewriteBase /subdirectory


Note that this goes into the .htaccess file in the “subdirectory”, not your website root .htaccess file!
