htaccess redirect

webnise said:

I was developing a site in a subfolder so the url was look like:

http://www.site.com/website/makeuphair
http://www.site.com/website/treatment
etc

and these URLs have been indexed by search engines.

Now, I am looking for a general rule for .htaccess that can redirect all the URLs inside the /website folder to relevant pages on the main site. That is,

http://www.site.com/website/makeuphair
should redirect to : http://www.site.com/makeuphair

http://www.site.com/website/treatment
should redirect to: http://www.site.com/treatment

Can anybody help me here?

This is only necessary if you have built links to the original location and want to pass on link juice otherwise just move the content to the new Url location on your website, delete the old links and update your sitemap.

If you still need to do a redirect anyway then you should have the option to do this in your host account control panel 'Redirect' icon/link/section. This will write the information for you directly into your htaccess file.
