clemente

There are subdirectories because there are different categories, they need to be seperated for automating things, just without the /sub1/ URL looks nicer. Figured it out, this did the job: RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/sub1/%{REQUEST_URI}/index.php -f RewriteRule ^(.*)$ sub1/$1 [L] RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/sub2/%{REQUEST_URI}/index.php -f RewriteRule ^(.*)$ sub2/$1 [L]

Okay will just stick to /sub/ folders, can close this

There is only few subdirectories, I want URL to be shorter.

I have written a rule that if a file doesn't exist, then look for it in "sub1" folder, for example: when someone goes to www.example.com/file15 it will rewrite to -> www.example.com/sub1/file15, and it works RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ sub1/$1 [QSA] But there are more folders than sub1, so if a "file15" doesn't exist in sub1, then look for it in folder sub2, and if it's not in sub2, then rewrite to sub3. I tried this but doesn't work: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ sub1/$1 [QSA] RewriteCond sub1/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond sub1/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ sub2/$1 [QSA]
