mod_rewrite - Changing hosting folder

Hi guys,

I've been making a few changes to my site, originally I had a php file which would redirect you to the folder hosting my site i.e. /site/ but what I found is that Google wasn't indexing my homepage because of this redirect.

So, I decided to place this code in a .htaccess file and it works fine for main domain (joharaphotography.com) but I have two domains, the second domain uses cURL to get the same page and display that but when you go that site it takes a looooong time to load or sometimes it fails all together.

Can anyone help me fix this please?

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?joharaphotography.com$ [OR] 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?joharagroup.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /site/$1

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?joharaphotography.com$ [OR] 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?joharagroup.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ site/index.php [L]

The first thing to do is move specific directives before more general ones.

Code:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?joharaphotography.com$ [OR] 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?joharagroup.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ site/index.php [L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?joharaphotography.com$ [OR] 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?joharagroup.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /site/$1

Thanks, I think has done the trick for the load speed but I've just been testing the site on different machines and from my work PC when I go to joharaphotography.com the URL stays as it is i.e. no /site/ but from my home PC it redirects to the /site/ folder.

Any idea why this happening? Because I don't want the /site/ to be displayed in the URL.

Thanks.

Ah, its not the .htaccess file, this is a cache issue with Firefox, it had stored the 301 redirect I had.

Deleted cache, all sorted
