I would like to show http://www.example.com/ in the address bar, but display content from http://www.example.com/new/

Can I do this with mod_rewrite?

Thanks.

Richard

Thanks Darryl. I was actually just looking for a special case rule that would only affect those two urls.

I don't need example.com/one.htm to show example.com/new/one.htm for example. I'm guessing that's what those rules will do (?).

Thanks.

Richard

Hello. Me again. I have some more mod_rewrite questions related to my original request so I thought I'd just continue here.

At our other site, moonremovals.co.uk I have some urls that need redirecting to new, improved urls. I'll probably do this the same way I did with our main site (southeringtons.co.uk) on a per url basis. For example:

RewriteRule ^contact.htm$ http://www.southeringtons.co.uk/contact-us/ [R=301]

At the same time, I would like to reorganise the actual files so I end up with each page as an individual .php file in the root directory (for example, moonremovals.co.uk/contact-us.php), but still I want people to access the pages from the new, improved urls as above (moonremovals.co.uk/contact-us/).

I'll name the php files appropriately so that the same rule can be use for all of them (/contact-us.php to /contact-us/ ... /downloads.php to /downloads/ etc...).

To summarise:

If people visit moonremovals.co.uk/contact.htm redirect them to moonremovals.co.uk/contact-us/ and show them content from moonremovals.co.uk/contact-us.php

If people visit moonremovals.co.uk/contact-us.php redirect them to moonremovals.co.uk/contact-us/ and show them content from moonremovals.co.uk/contact-us.php

If people visit moonremovals.co.uk/contact-us/ don't redirect them, just show them content from mooremovals.co.uk/contact-us.php

How would I go about doing this? I hope it all makes sense.

Thanks.

Richard

Hi,

I don't really think you need mod_rewrite here.

If you never advertise moonremovals.co.uk/contact-us.php anywhere on your site then no one will know it's there, you therefore always link everywhere to moonremovals.co.uk/contact-us/ and simply place the contact-us.php file in the /contact-us/ directory and add a DirectoryIndex entry to a .htaccess file in the directory so the server knows to read from the contact-us.php file. If you want to have contact-us.php in the root of your public_html to work on then you can just create a symlink to it from the /contact-us/contact-us.php file.

You can then just redirects to change the contact.htm file over to the /contact-us/ directory.

Thanks,

Andrew

Okay, that sounds interesting... However, it sounds like the directories would be required (correct me if I'm wrong ) which is one thing I'm trying to avoid.
