如何删除部分URL并使用htaccess中的mod_rewrite重定向？

Question

I would like to remove part of the url of my Joomla site and redirect to another url for example

www.example.com/xxx/yyy/zzz/FAQ

www.example.com/123/456/FAQ

to

www.example.com/FAQ

I'm very new to mod_rewrite in .htacesss

what RewriteRule can I write to achive this

thank you

Answer 1

Try this in root/htaccess

RewriteEngine On

 RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /xx/yy/zz/([^\s]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1? [NC,L,R]
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /xx/yy/zz/$1 [NC,L]

And the same rule can be used to rewrite /123/456/faq to /123/456/FAq , just change the rewrite target and the pattern in first Rewritecond.

$1 is part of the regex in rewrite rule, its the part matched between (.+) ,it contains uri.

Answer 2

Thank you, after I tried I finally got it working

this is my solution

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^.*/FAQ$ /FAQ [L,R=301]

by doing this I remove everything between the URL and FAQ

www.abc.com/SOMETHING/SOMETHING2/FAQ

and redirect the URL to

www.abc.com/FAQ

I also found a nice tool to test the mod_rewrite code http://htaccess.madewithlove.be/
