    I am a newbie to web technologies and yesterday i deleted my wordpress site and reinstalled it by deleting all the databsse table and folders. Now my blog URL is http://rohbits.com/blog and i wanted every request to rohbits.com to be redirected to http://rohbits.com/blog but the problem is that i am when i changed the redirect rules in my cpanel, i am getting “This webpage has a redirect loop”. I don’t know what to do. I have hosted my site on hostgators and after i removed all the files and database, i am not able to install wordpress in the root folder. Please provide me with your valued help

    Remove the redirects in cPanel.

    okay i have found a simple solution to it. I removed redirection rules from cpanel and add these code to my htaccess file

    # Turn on rewrites.
RewriteEngine on

# Only apply to URLs on this domain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?rohbits.com$

# Only apply to URLs that aren't already under folder.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/blog/

# Don't apply to URLs that go to existing files or folders.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

# Rewrite all those to insert /folder.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /blog/$1

# Also redirect the root folder.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?rohbits.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ blog/ [L]
