Installing Magento2 subfolder url

Question

I've installed Magento into a subfolder /var/www/html/magento2 When I access it I need to type http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/magento2

How is it possible to navigate to site without using the subfolder ? Is this related to .htaccess file, I have not edited nor moved files around yet.

Thanks

Edit your .htaccess file in your root folder(/var/www/html/) with below code.

# Mod Rewrite
Options +FollowSymLinks  #Include this line if you are using Godaddy hosting
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)subfolder
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ subfolder/$1 [L]

In your case replace subfolder with magento2. Its working for me, check once.

The only item in html is a folder called magento2. So I copied .htaccess to html (leaving the original as is) and deleted all content and added the above code. But now I receive a 500 error when I browse to either http://ip or http://ip/magento2. Could this be permission related? – Orange Juice Jones Dec 01 '16 at 10:00
Don' copy the .htaccess file from magento2 subfolder. If you didn't find the file in /var/www/html, then create new one and use my code. – Venu Joginpally Dec 01 '16 at 10:06
created new file nano .htaccess and added your code, changed two instances of 'subfolder' but same error. – Orange Juice Jones Dec 01 '16 at 10:15
Can you check the permissions of file and remove the two lines, Mod Rewrite and Options +FollowSymLinks, if you are not using the godaddy hosting. – Venu Joginpally Dec 01 '16 at 10:24
I removed the godaddy hosting line and its now worked :) When I browse to http://ip it now changes the url automatically to http://ip/magento2 and page renders. Is there a way to remove the magento2 from the url ? In mageto admin I found the following under 'Base URL' http://52.51.66.20/magento2/ – Orange Juice Jones Dec 01 '16 at 10:28
Update the base URL's from ip/magento2 to IP only. – Venu Joginpally Dec 01 '16 at 10:32

if you are using xampp then run your xampp control panel click the button saying config select apache( httpd.conf ) otherwise edit httpd.conf find document root replace

DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs"
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs">

Those 2 lines

| C:/xampp/htdocs == current location for root |

|change C:/xampp/htdocs with any location you want|

save it and restart xampp

I wrote a post about this link -> post

As everything goes through the /pub/ folder, you need to create /pub/subfolder and then change the relative path on the index.php file:

From: require realpath(DIR) . ‘/../app/bootstrap.php’;

To: require realpath(DIR) . ‘/../../app/bootstrap.php’;

It worked to me with Nginx and Magento 2.2
