Need help for a regular expression to rewrite a URL path (for Cherokee)

Question

I need help to write a regex to redirect a URL path from:

http://mydomain.com/files/2012/10/image_4-1.png

to:

http://mydomain.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/5/files/2012/10/image_4-1.png

... the wp-content/blogs.dir/5 (it static) needs to be added.

Just can't figure it out... Can anyone help with the regular expression?

Answer 1

Enable mod_rewrite and .htaccess through httpd.conf and then put this code in your .htaccess under DOCUMENT_ROOT directory:

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^(files/2012/10/image_4-1\.png)$ wp-content/blogs.dir/5/$1 [L,R=302,NC]

PS: If you want to add wp-content/blogs.dir/5 before every path then use this rule:

RewriteRule (?!^wp-content/blogs.dir/5/)^(.*)$ wp-content/blogs.dir/5/$1 [L,R=302,NC]
