Getting a not found error for the shirts page when I put the project in a folder inside the root directory.

So I downloaded the project files from this lesson, and when I load them directly into my localhost root directory they work fine. However, if I move them into a subfolder in that directory, lets call it th, and modify the config file to reflect this, everything works except the link to the shirts page at the top. So the contact, and search links work fine, but the shirts one does not. Instead it gives me a file not found error.

I've included a link to some screenshots I took of what my files look like at the moment. - https://imgur.com/a/7bINm

I suspect it may have something to do with my rewrite rules but I can't figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Kyle, I've just checked quickly, and yes It seems It's something wrong with your rewrite rules. However, I'm not very good at it. I suggest you to download the projects files of shirts 4 Mike, this way you'll be able to compare and correct wrong rules.

Hey thanks for responding. I actually downloading the project files originally when I had posted this, and those are the ones that aren't working.

Rewrite like this and it works:

RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^shirts/$ /shirts4mike/shirts/shirts.php RewriteRule ^shirts/([0-9]+)/$ /shirts4mike/shirts/shirt.php?id=$1 RewriteRule ^receipt.php$ /shirts4mike/receipt/ [R=301] RewriteRule ^contact.php$ /shirts4mike/contact/ [R=301] RewriteRule ^shirts.php$ /shirts4mike/shirts/ [R=301] RewriteRule ^(shirts/[0-9]+)$ /$1/ [R=301]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([0-9]+)$ RewriteRule ^shirt.php$ /shirts/%1/? [R=301]

In your case replace "shirts4mike" with "th".
