title: htaccess redirect to subfolder results in too many redirects
body: <p>I am currently working with some software called <a href="https://sendy.co/" rel="nofollow">sendy</a>. I want to redirect the url mydomain.com/sendy to the sendy folder in the root directory. I am using Laravel on a shared account with other htaccess configurations after the one below. I put the sendy redirect first as a result. However I get the error</p>
  
  <pre><code>The website has a redirect loop 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am no expert on .htaccess files so any help would be great as to what may be causing the issue. What I have currently now is shown below:</p>
  
  <pre><code># Use PHP5.4 as default
  AddHandler application/x-httpd-php54 .php
  
  #AddType application/x-httpd-php54 .php
  
  
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteRule ^/?sendy/ /sendy/? [R=301,L]
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?mydomain.com$ 
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/public/ 
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f 
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d 
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /public/$1 
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?mydomain.com$ 
  RewriteRule ^(/)?$ public/index.php [L]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thank you!</p>
