如何将somedomain.com/free/single/result_id重写为somedomain.com/f/single/result_id

Question

I'm having trouble getting my head around rewrite .

I'm trying to make it so that the URL somedomain.com/f/single/1 would grab the result from somedomain.com/free/single/1

I've tried the following.

RewriteRule ^/f$ /free$1 [L]    

Here is a copy of my existing .htaccess with a suggestion made by Kamil...

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|assets|robots\.txt) 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L] 
RewriteRule ^f/(.+)$ /free/$1 [L]

I wonder if the problem is that I am already removing index.php before the /free ?

Can anyone help me understand what I'm doing wrong?

You look for following rule:

RewriteRule ^f/(.+)$ /free/$1 [L]

The first part ^f/(.+)$ is regular expression - it matches all strings starting with /f/ and stores the rest to the $1 ... then it's rewritten to /free/ and the rest stored in $1 .
