# Example .htaccess file
#
# This file contains a collection of almost everything you will need
# for optimising TYPO3:
#
# - mod_rewrite (used for SimulateStaticDocuments, RealUrl, etc.)
# - PHP optimisation
#
# If you want to use it, you'll need to rename this file to '.htaccess'.
# (To make this work you will need to adjust the 'AllowOverride'
# directive in your Apache configuration file.)
#
# IMPORTANT: You may need to change this file depending on your TYPO3
# installation!
#
# You should change every occurance of TYPO3root/ to the location where you
# have your website in. For example:
# If you have your website located at http://mysite.com/
# then your TYPO3root/ is just empty (remove 'TYPO3root/')
# If you have your website located at http://mysite.com/some/path/
# then your TYPO3root/ is some/path/ (search and replace)
#
# If you have problems with this file, try using the minimal
# mod_rewrite.htaccess which is located in the typo3_src/misc/
# directory of this installation.
#
# You can also use this configuration in your httpd.conf, but you'll have
# to modify some lines, see the comments (search for 'httpd.conf')
#
# Using rewriting in your httpd.conf is much faster, btw.

### Begin: Rewrite stuff ###
# Enable URL rewriting
RewriteEngine On
# To assist in debugging rewriting, you could use these lines
# DON'T enable it for production!
# This will only work in httpd.conf, not in .htaccess files
#RewriteLog /var/log/apache/rewrite.log
#RewriteLogLevel 9
# If you use the RealUrl extension, then you'll have to enable the next line.
# You will have to change this path if your TYPO3 installation is located
# in a subdirectory of the website root.
#
# If you place this in httpd.conf, you cannot use this directive in any case!
#RewriteBase /
# Stop rewrite processing if we are in the typo3/ directory
# For httpd.conf, use this line instead of the next one:
# RewriteRule ^/TYPO3root/(typo3|typo3temp|typo3conf|t3lib|tslib|fileadmin|uploads|favicon.ico)/ - [L]
RewriteRule ^(typo3|t3lib|tslib|fileadmin|typo3conf|typo3temp|uploads|favicon.ico)/ - [L]

# Redirect http://mysite/typo3 to http://mysite/typo3/index_re.php
# and stop the rewrite processing
# For httpd.conf, use this line instead of the next one:
# RewriteRule ^/TYPO3root/typo3$ /TYPO3root/typo3/index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^typo3$ typo3/index_re.php [L]
# If the file/symlink/directory does not exist => Redirect to index.php
# Important note: If you copy/paste this into httpd.conf instead
# of .htaccess you will need to add '%{DOCUMENT_ROOT}' left to each
# '%{REQUEST_FILENAME}' part.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
# Main URL rewriting.
# If you use Windows and SimulateStaticDocuments do not work, try adding a
# slash (/) right before 'index.php' below.
# The example shows how to rewrite only *.html and *.pdf files to index.php
# This may be helpful when using an extension that can generate PDF files
# on the fly.
# Example: RewriteRule .*.(html|pdf)$ index.php [L]
# For httpd.conf, use this line instead of the next one that has no '#':
# RewriteRule .* /TYPO3root/index.php [L]
# For use with the RealUrl extension, you might need to remove the
# RewriteBase directive somewhere above and use this line instead of the
# next one:
# RewriteRule .* /index.php [L]
RewriteRule .* index.php [L]
### End: Rewrite stuff ###

### Begin: PHP optimisation ###
# All features below are left to the default if you don't change this.
# Simply remove the comment marks if you want to use some/all of these
# settings
# The PHP developers recommend disabling this feature. Do that.
# It's deprecated and is likely to be unsupported in future versions of PHP.
#php_flag allow_call_time_pass_reference off
# TYPO3 works fine with register_globals turned off.
# This is highly recommended!
#php_flag register_globals off
# PHP may not declare the argv & argc variables (that would contain the GET
# information).
# TYPO3 doesn't need this, so just turn it off.
#php_flag register_argc_argv off
# Magic quotes for runtime-generated data (data from SQL, exec(), etc.)
#php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off
# Order in which PHP registers GET, POST, Cookie and Built-in variables
#php_value variables_order GPCS
### End: PHP optimisation ###
# Add your own rules here
# ...
#Increase Max Upload Filesize
php_value upload_max_filesize 10M

Thread: Migrate WEC Installation

Henry,

As you probably have already noticed, setting up TYPO3 in a subfolder creates more trouble than it's worth.
The following depends on whether you have cPanel or another account management software, I am not sure what godaddy gives you.
You should probably setup a subdomain that will use the subfolder of your root. It should not just redirect. Once you can reach that typo3 installation through your subdomain, things will be a lot easier.
As far as migration goes, it's pretty straightforward: Copy all the files, including .htaccess (or all hidden files for that matter), export the database from your old host and import it to your new with phpMyAdmin or similar. Then change the db username, password, and name if applicable from the Install Tool and the site url from WEC Config. That should do the trick!

Let me know if this was helpful at all. I really don't recommend messing with .htaccess files and such, mod_rewrite is a monster.
