How to Rewrite directory url in htaccess?

Question

I have directory like this in my site. => aaa.com/p/folder/

How to change url to => aaa.com/folder/

Note: aaa.com/folder/ doesn't exists in my site. I tried this but get error 404 instead.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^/p/(.+)$ /$1 [L]

Answer 1

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?aaa.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/folder/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /folder/$1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?aaa.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ folder/index.php [L]

Look in your conf file and make sure that AllowOverride is not set to the default of "none". I struggled with this for a while too and the.conf setting was what was causing my biggest headache.
