how do I use htaccess to redirect on test wamp server

I have a site on both a live server and locally on a wampserver. The wampserver address is //localhost/testsite/ . (the live site is just the domain name).

So that I dont have to hardcode "/testsite/" into my test urls, how can I use my local .htaccess file to use the /testsite/ area? (testsite is the apache alias)

My files are all in the root folder and called page1.php, page2.php, index.php etc. however when I link to page2 it fails because its calling the the relative path to the server ie. just //localhost/page2.php not the expected //localhost/testsite/page2.php

I've tried several htaccess rules but they just try and make apache look in a /testsite/ subfolder for page2.php instead of root.

Should I be using htaccess for this? If so what should the rules be. If not what is the best way to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance

You can have this code in localhost .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/testsite/ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /testsite/$1 [L,NC,R=301]
