Proper htaccess redirect

Two questions,

I just finished a site and it is about to go live.

It is saved in www.example.com/store/, and I want it to strictly open at the /store/, nowhere else since there are many other areas on that drive, so first off, for achieving this action;

would I simply put inside the htaccess;

Redirect 301 / http://www.example.com/store/

??

And continuing off that, say I have links on /store/index.php that link off to www.example.com/links/ which is outside the /store/ link.. would those now not work?

Thanks for the help guys!

You could also stay with mod_alias RedirectMatch. The Redirect directive also include sub-directories, so you're actually creating a loop when you redirect / into a sub-directory. But RedirectMatch won't:

RedirectMatch 301 ^/(?!store)(.*)$ /store/

Also make sure to restrict access outside of that directory. So make only that directory available, and ban access to all others. Check this out for some help.

If you want all traffic be redirected to store/, just do:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/store/$
RewriteRule (.*) /store/ [R=301,L]

Now all traffic will redirect to the store/.

Let me know if I could provide you with more details.
