在apache2服务器中通过htaccess删除URL的某些部分

Question

I'm trying to rewrite url by .htaccess on apache2 server in ubuntu 14.04. I have the following url :

localhost/compare/compares/single/16/postoneVSposttwo

But I want it like:

 localhost/compare/compares/postoneVSposttwo

I have tried by following .htaccess rules:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.+)/single/.+/(.+)$ $1/$2 [L,NC,R]

But it make a url like:

localhost/var/www/html/compare/webroot/compares/postoneVSposttwo

How can I solved the problem?
