Host: hostgator.com
my domain: normalexception.net
Webroot: /public_html
Before:
Had joomla installed directly in /public_html and things got a bit messy because i am also hosting another one of my pages on the same server.
Now:
My Joomla Install: /public_html/normalexception.net/prod_env/joomla/3_0/
So I have set up my htaccess to make sure that when users go to normalexception.net it is properly redirected to the joomla index.php. But I am having another problem that I could use help with. While users are able to get to my site, all of my links are long links that are showing the directory. I know there is a trick to hide the directory structure, but I do not know it . For example, if you go to my site, and click on the "Image Gallery" link, it will take you to:
http://www.normalexception.net/[b]norma ... joomla/3_0[/b]/index.php/image-gallery
If possible, I would like to hide the bold part. Here are my two htaccess files:
