Matching local site structure with live site using DW - 7/18/2007 16:14:06
I've having a hell of a time trying to match my local site structure with the online one using dreamweaver. The structure of my online site contains files and folders that are outside the public_html directory
Ex. Online Site structure
some_other_folder
-Includes
-Classes
public_html
-index.php
When I setup a site in dreamweaver I can select my local root folder which contains that directory structure, so that it shows the above, but when I try and run a file it adds in "public_html" in the url, which messes everything up.
Ex. http://mysite.local/public_html/index.php
Should be: http://mysite.local/index.php
I want to have an exact match so I can use dreamweavers synchronize feature and make it easy to maintain both my local and online sites without having to have two different versions. Any help is appreciated, thanks

I put a .htaccess file in the public_html directory that contains the following.
RewriteEngine On
rewriteRule ^public_html/?(.*) /$1 [R=301,L]
This gets rid of the "public_html" in the url.
Note: .htaccess is used with apache servers.
