Rewrite old image urls to new url

Question

So I had some images that were in the root folder of the website, and they are linked from another website using <img src="" />

after the redesign things changed and now the images are in a new folder called imgs

So what I need is somehow the old urls to work but serve the image from another folder.

http://example.com/file.JPG should be served from http://example.com/imgs/file.JPG

I've tried this but doesn't work

RewriteRule ^/(.*)\.JPG$ /imgs/$1\.JPG [L,R]

Answer 1

You can use this rule:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^([^/.]+\.jpe?g)$ /imgs/$1 [L,NC,R=302]
