.htaccess redirect folder to a url

Question

I\'m trying to redirect a folder and all its sub files to a URL with a .htaccess file.

But

Redirect 301 /abc/cba/ http://www.aaa.com/

Answer 1

By default, Redirect sort of maps the path node to a new path node, so anything after the first path gets appended to the target URL.

Try:

RedirectMatch 301 ^/abc/cba/ http://www.aaa.com/?

Or if you'd rather use mod_rewrite instead of mod_alias:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/?abc/cba/ http://www.aaa.com/? [R=301,L]
