如何将Bootstrap+PHP+MySQL双语网站默认跳转至/in目录

Hey there! Let's get your default domain redirect sorted so visitors land straight on your Indonesian language site. Below are three solid methods depending on your server setup:

This is the go-to for most shared hosting environments. Just create or edit the .htaccess file in your website's root directory and add these rules:

RewriteEngine On
# Prevent redirect loops by skipping requests already in en/in folders
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(en|in)/
# Permanently redirect all root requests to /in
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /in/$1 [R=301,L]

The 301 status code tells search engines this is a permanent redirect, which helps with SEO. And the condition ensures visitors who manually go to /en won't get bounced back.

If you're running Nginx, head to your site's config file (usually located in /etc/nginx/sites-available/) and add this block inside your server section:

location / {
    if ($request_uri !~ ^/(en|in)/) {
        return 301 /in$request_uri;
    }
}

After saving the changes, restart Nginx to apply them:

sudo systemctl restart nginx

If you don't have access to server config files or prefer a PHP-based solution, create an index.php file in your root directory (or edit the existing one) with this code at the very top:

<?php
// Check if we're already in en or in directory
$currentPath = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
if (!preg_match('/^\/(en|in)\//', $currentPath)) {
    // Send permanent redirect to Indonesian site
    header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
    header("Location: /in" . $currentPath);
    exit;
}
?>

This will kick in before any other Bootstrap/PHP code runs, ensuring visitors get redirected right away.

Quick Notes: #

• Always test after setting up: Visit your root domain, /en, and /in to make sure there are no infinite redirect loops.
• The 301 redirect is important for SEO—it signals to search engines that /in is the default version of your site.
• Your language switcher buttons will still work as expected since we're excluding /en and /in from the redirect rules.
