I am trying to configure a website so that it serves its pages from a subfolder.

The website’s root folder is the following.

/home/infcs/server/public/apps/mysite

The website’s root folder contains an .htaccess that points to the following subfolder that contains the actual website files.

/home/infcs/server/public/apps/mysite/public

The .htaccess file’s content is the following.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    <IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
        Options -MultiViews -Indexes
    </IfModule>

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/public/
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /public/$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>

When I try to load the page http://localhost/apps/mysite, I get the error message:

Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server.
Apache/2.4.52 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80

My apache sites-available config file /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf looks like follows.

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName localhost
    DocumentRoot /home/infcs/server/public
    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

I also have this in my apache config file /etc/apache2/apache2.conf.

<Directory /home/infcs/server/public/apps/mysite>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>

I have tried changing .htaccess to the following:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    <IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
        Options -MultiViews -Indexes
    </IfModule>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/apps/mysite/public/    
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /apps/mysite/public/$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>

Now I can see the page but it fails to load the assets e.g. css, js, etc. For example, I see the following in the console:

GET
http://localhost/store/1/default_images/categories_icons/feather.png
[HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found 0ms]
GET
http://localhost/assets/default/js/app.js
[HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found 0ms]

The store folder is this one:

/home/infcs/server/public/apps/mysite/public/store

The assets folder is this one:

/home/infcs/server/public/apps/mysite/public/assets

I do not know much about .htaccess files, so I tried to hack the .htaccess file by looking at another .htaccess file with which I had some luck, but as you can see, it does not work.

Could you please show me how I can solve this?

Many thanks.
