[solution] htaccess rewrite to parent folder

when some idiot decides to put a whole site in a (dated) subfolder like

www/2018/

and you want to migrate to another host and set things strait ( meaning www/ ) you will end up with A LOT OF 404 urls

You need to create a 2018 folder and put this in your htaccess to redirect 301 all requests to the parent root folder

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.fulldomain.ext/\ [R=301,L]
