Home page for sites installed in subfolders

Question

I am using a CMS (PrestaShop) installed in a subfolder of the root directory (shop-1)

domainName/shop-1 index to PrestaShop.

domaineName/shop-2 points to a custom page under PrestaShop.

My question is: I want the main domain page domainName/ to also point to the second custom page in PrestaShop. The goal is to manage 3 pages using the same CMS.

Is this possible with htaccess? What do you think the solution is?

PS: I know this can be done with multiple stores, but I think it's over-engineered.

Editor:

www.domain.com is the main site and there is an old PrestaShop there.

• I want to move this site to:

www.domain.com/shop-1

This means that all PS built-in URLs will be at /shop1/*

• I also want another future shop-2

www.domain.com/shop-2

But currently I only need the landing page for shop-2, that's why I considered the CMS page or the module front controller (under the same PS installation).

• Now how can I make the root URL www.domain.com point to a URL that can also be managed by the PrestaShop engine?

In other words, I want a PS installation to manage all URLs:

1. /shop1/* is the page of the old website.
2. /shop-2 is just a front controller page or CMS.
3. / The landing page of the entire website is also a Hopefully the front controller page.

Thank you very much dear

To redirect the main domain page to a custom page in PrestaShop, you can use the RewriteRule directive in the website .htaccess like

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ /shop-2 [L]

This tells the server to redirect the root URL to a custom page located at /shop-2. Make sure you have mod_rewrite on your server for it to work properly
