重写joomla .htaccess中的规则不起作用

Question

I have added this line in joomla .htaccess to remove part of the url.

Original URL Example - http://odishayellowpages.in/item/scientific-suppliers

Required URL Example - http://odishayellowpages.in/scientific-suppliers

I have used this rewrite rule - but it doens't make any difference.

# Begin - Custom redirects
#
# If you need to redirect some pages, or set a canonical non-www to
# www redirect (or vice versa), place that code here. Ensure those
# redirects use the correct RewriteRule syntax and the [R=301,L] flags.
#
RewriteRule ^item/(.*)$ $1 [R=301,L]
## End - Custom redirects

Answer 1

You can use this redirect rule just below RewriteEngine On line:

RewriteRule ^item/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,L,NC,NE]

You need to use / at start of target URL to avoid it getting appended to current filesystem path.
