Adding a "fake" subfolder in base url [closed]

Question

About the "off topic" flag : This is not offtopic. As you can see in the accepted answer, it was about Magento config (db + htaccess)

For corporate / political reasons, we are trying to add a fake subfolder to our base urls. I can't configure vhosts/base urls to make it work with this additional string (404 for any page but home page)

Before :
subdomain1.company.com -> store 1
subdomain2.company.com -> store 2

After (help ?) :
subdomain1.company.com/corporate/ -> store 1
subdomain2.company.com/corporate/ -> store 2

I've set each vhost like this :

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "/path/to/root/directory"
    ServerName subdomain1.company.com
    Alias /corporate "/path/to/root/directory"
    <Directory /path/to/root/directory>
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
        AllowOverride All
        RewriteEngine On
        Options +FollowSymlinks
    </Directory>

    SetEnv MAGE_RUN_CODE store1
    SetEnv MAGE_RUN_TYPE store
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "/path/to/root/directory"
    ServerName subdomain2.company.com
    Alias /corporate "/path/to/root/directory"
    <Directory /path/to/root/directory>
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
        AllowOverride All
        RewriteEngine On
        Options +FollowSymlinks
    </Directory>

    SetEnv MAGE_RUN_CODE store2
    SetEnv MAGE_RUN_TYPE store
</VirtualHost>

And my new base urls are subdomain1.company.com/corporate/ and subdomain2.company.com/corporate/
Obviously, I did something wrong. Any help would be highly appreciated....

You have to check/do 2 things:

1. To change the URL in the Magento settings (in the admin panel -> System -> Configuration -> GENERAL -> Web).
2. To add RewriteBase /corporate/ to the .htaccess in the Magento main directory (after RewriteEngine on).
