ianitm Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Hi, I am not sure if this is possible but would appreciate any help. I have a URL along the lines of http://mysite.com/folder1/folder2/folder3/downloads/ and I'd like to make anything in the downloads folder accessible just by visiting http://mysite.com/downloads/. Essentially, I want the user to have to not type in all of those sub directories, just let the server do the work. Any advise please?

ianitm Posted October 9, 2008 Author Share Posted October 9, 2008 So far I have this: RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.mysite\.com$ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mysite.com/design/templates/default/public/downloads/$1 [R=301,L] Which redirects www.mysite.com to the mysite.com/design/templates/default/public/downloads/ folder. I can't work out how to get www.mysite.com/downloads to do the same though. This doesn't work: RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.mysite\.com/downloads$ I'd also like to have it working whether www. has been used or not. Thanks.

corbin Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Alias /downloads/ /folder1/folder2/folder3/downloads/ or RewriteRule ^downloads(.*) /folder1/folder2/folder3/downloads$1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
