.htaccess URL Rewrite to Subdirectory

Question

What is the best method to rewrite anything below \"/some/subdir\" to \"/some/subdir/projects\" like from this:

http://www.mydomain.com/some/subidr/test/


        

Answer 1

Try this rule in your .htaccess configuration file in the document root of your server:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule !^some/subdir/projects(/|$) some/subdir/projects%{REQUEST_URI} [L]

---

As you want to use this rule in your /some/subdir/ directory, change the rule as follows:

RewriteRule !^projects(/|$) projects%{REQUEST_URI} [L]

And if you want to redirect any requests of /some/subdir/projects/foobar to /some/subdir/foobar, put this rule above the previous mentioned:

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]+\ /some/subdir/projects[/?\s]
RewriteRule ^some/subdir/projects/?([^/].+)?$ /some/subdir/$1 [L,R=301]

Answer 2

This is the solution I finally got to work:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/some/subdir/projects/.*$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /some/subdir/projects/$1 [L]

Answer 3

I would use this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(/some/subdir)/(.*)$ $1/projects/$2

This will redirect /some/subdir/<anything> to /some/subdir/projects/<anything>.

Note that the leading / is actually required to match the beginning of the URL, unless you have RewriteBase / set somewhere.
