[users@httpd] URL rewrite or alias?

[Johnny C <ju...@gmail.com>]

Here's a quick summary:
DocumentRoot: /var/www/html/

What I want to do: (if possible)

http://localhost/
--> should point to /var/www/html/mywebsite
(instead of the *actual* DocumentRoot)

http://localhost/another
--> should point to /var/www/html/another
(relative to DocumentRoot)

I want my main website to be inside a folder rather
than have it on the root and have other files scattered
all around with other subfolders (http://localhost/another)
that do not even belong to the main website.

I tried 
<IfModule mod_alias.c>  
    AliasMatch ^/$ /var/www/html/mywebsite
</IfModule>
but it doesn't work the way I want it. It works well if the URL
actually ends with
something, like http://localhost/test/ can be aliased as
   
AliasMatch ^/test(.*) /var/www/html/mywebsite$1

So my  question is, am I on the right track? 
Can I tell it that if it ends with JUST a "/" OR if it's just the domain
name and nothing else after it, it should be aliased to somewhere? I
really appreciate any help.thankyou.

It's not too clear WHY you want to do this, but just change DocumentRoot to
/var/www/html/mywebsite and then
Alias /another /var/www/html/another
