How > would this be acomplished? Have you carefully thought that through? Is the new URI going to be able to do whatever the old one did? For script-based functions, the client accesses a certain URI to generate a certain result. If you're changing the URIs, you're going to change the condition. Drupal, itself, might expect and generate /drupal prefixed URIs. But if it doesn't need to work that way, then you can change things. For a specific URI a simple approach is to use a single redirect rule. e.g. Redirect permanent /drupal http://www.pilotalk.com/ But if you were doing redirects where /drupal/variable-something needs changing to /variable-something (where it's variable), then you'd probably need to use a re-write rule with variables. Being unfamiliar with Drupal, I'd suspect something like the following might do the trick. RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} pilotalk\.com/drupal/$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.pilotalk.comz/$1 [R=301,L] Or, perhaps just: RedirectMatch ^/drupal/$ http://www.pilotalk.com/ You might want to look into "RewriteBase /drupal/" as well. Info: <http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/misc/rewriteguide.html> Though, if Drupal is going to be your entire root documents, you might as well configure the server that way. i.e. Have the default virtual host for www.pilotalk.com aimed at the Drupal file location rather than /var/www/html/. But, I suspect that you're going to run into a problem that Drupal expects to work from a Drupal sub-directory off the main domain, expects URIs to be prefixed with Drupal, and generates new URIs with it. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.22.1-41.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5.
