Remove last Path from URL using .htaccess

Question

I need to create a RewriteRule on my .htaccess file which removes the Path ("page-2") if it's included at the end of the URL. So for example:

http://myhost.com/path/page-2

should redirect to:

http://myhost.com/path

I've found a similar solution on SO:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)/?$ /$1/page-2/ [L]

However it does not work for me. No redirection happens. Any help?

Answer 1

You need to have this rule:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^(.+?)/page-2/?$ /$1 [L,NC,R=301]
