Hi,
I tried the mod_proxy method, though it seems we dont have it installed. Your next reply seems on the money though. I did try something like this before, though was just a few characters out from your suggestion and this made all the difference! Everything is working great (thanks!) as i intended except for requests against the root directory (eg http://www.mydomain.com/)
So i have tried various things such as adding conditions to the rule such as "RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} =/ [OR]" and "RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} =/index.php [OR]" or "RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} =/ [OR]" and several others (but maybe not all?), but still to no avail, cannot get the desired result of "www.mydomain.com/" actually going to "www.mydomain.com/cms/" (and not showing the .../cms bit). (ps. there is no index.php in the root to avoid any possible problem). I feel like the difficult bit has been passed and this is the "simple" last hurdle... but its got me still beat ;p
Might you (or anyone) have any suggestion? i would be most appreciative again.
Cheers & thanks again yojoe!
