Issue: If user type example.com it should go to https://www.example.com/mypath/mypage, it's not happening

Answer 1

you can use Apache's mod_rewrite module.

Open the vhost file for the domain you want to redirect. Add the following lines of code to the file:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ /mypath/mypage [L,R=301]

Change

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/mypath/mypage  
[L,R=301]

By

RewriteRule ^$ /mypath/mypage [L,R=301]
