.htaccess rewrite with folders and Private SSL?

[littlehawk]

Hello,
I just installed a SSL certificate,
and i would like to know is there any way to do a mod rewrite,
that turns and work www.domain.com to a sub-folder but still shows www.domain.com on the title bar, instead of www.domain/com/folder when applying a redirect.
This is what i done and works in http, but no longer true in SSL servers,RewriteEngine on

#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?domain.com$
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/main/
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /main/$1

#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?domain.com$
#RewriteRule ^(/)?$ main/index.php [L]

This works for me:

# Makes catalog seem like the root in the browser address.
# change domain to your url
# change catalog to your sub folder name
# the next 3 line are here if you do not have them already in the file.
Options -Indexes
RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymLinks
# 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule .* http://www.domain.com/ [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^$ catalog/index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/catalog%{REQUEST_URI} -f
RewriteRule .* catalog/$0 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .* catalog/index.php?q=$0 [QSA]

I just figued out something is that when i type www.domain.com, no matter what i type say www.domain.com/oooooooo or /rrrrrrrrrr, it gets displayed as my mainpage www.domain.com/rrrrrrrrr, can this be solved?thank you

That's one of the draw backs that I have not been able to work out.

I assume that you are using an ZC error 404 trap in your htaccess file. Or something similar.

ErrorDocument 404 http://www.domain.com/index.php?main_page=page_not_found.php

I know it looks funny but it is a file not found value. Just the address is not cleared when redirected to error page.

Maybe someone else can come up with the clearing command?

Skipwater, thanks very very much for your reply,
I would like to ask a little bit more, is that where should the link error document should be placed?

[skipwater]

As a start here is a link to all the error codes and what they mean.
http://www.askapache.com/htaccess/ap...rdocument.html

Zen Cart has a predefined error page which is: page_not_found.php

To edit the contents of this page you can find it in your:
/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_page_not_found.php

As for the htaccess file just add this line with your url

ErrorDocument 404 http://www.domain.com/index.php?main_page=page_not_found.php
