How to redirect Apache default page to a “subdirectory”

apache-2.2

OS: CentOS 5.3
Apache 2.2.3

Say I have two site hosted on the machine (/var/www/html/site1 and /var/www/html/site2).
For now,

http://hostname/site1 
http://hostname/site2

brings to the site.
and
http://hostname
brings to apache welcome page.
Is there any way to make (http://hostname) direct to site1 by just changing configuration but not moving folder structures? Thanks a lot!!

You want one of the Redirect* directives.

Make sure Mod_Rewrite is loaded. Make sure you have AllowOverrides All on your root directory (it's the Apache default, but most distros have a default none in the httpd.conf file).

Usually that comes from Selinux not giving access to the folder. do

ls -alZ /var/www/

and if the html folder doesn't have the context system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t, fix it with chcon

chcon -v -R --type=httpd_sys_content_t /var/www/html
