I have my old site http://www.towerhousedolls.co.uk/ in public_html/shop and have it directed to www.towerhousedolls.co.uk using the .htaccess file written as follows:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?towerhousedolls.co.uk$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/shop/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /shop/$1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?towerhousedolls.co.uk$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ shop/index.php [L]
I have now made a new site with a new database (version 1.3.9h)http://www.towerhousedolls.co.uk/demo in public_html/demo
I am now ready for the 'demo' site to go live and to disable the old 'shop' one. I have tried changing the .htaccess file to redirect people to the demo site but without success. It wont let me change it.
I now wish I hadnt called the new site 'demo'. Is there a way I can rename it 'shop' and call the old 'shop' something else untill I delelete it?
Can anyone help please or suggest how to do this? Im not keen on anyone seeing the word demo in the web browser bar at all.
