apache rewrite rule help

[marciasa]

Hi there,

I am desperately looking for some help with apache rewrite.

I have 2 websites; one in root (/) and the other in a subdirectory (/sub)

the two site are nearly identical apart from the home page.
how can I use the home page of the one in the sub directory for the root site and whenever a user click on any other page in the subdirectory ( a part from one! ) get rid of the /sub/ bit and send them to the site on the root?

I am using drupal , so to set the homepage for the site in the root to point to the one in the subdirectory should be easy; but the problem is that I want to set a rule in the subdirectory to send all the pages from the subdirectory site to be redirected to the "twin" pages in the root site;

so for example www.mysite.com will go to www.mysite.com/sub/

but www.mysite.com/sub/page
will go to www.mysite.com/page;

but, I need to keep www.mysite.com/sub/a_particular_page to point to www.mysite.com/sub/a_particular_page

so a part from the home page and the a_particular_page all pages from the subdirectory has to point to the homepage;

hope this is not too confusing.

any help is greatly appreciated and thank you in advance!!!

Basically the thing is that if you are writing www.mysite.com it is going to www.mysite.com/sub/ because you have set the index page there. And now the thing you want to achieve you need to set the index page in the sub directory. I mean give a page name = index.php or index.html in your sub directory. Try to do this for solving your problem.
