Folder Redirect Question

[toolman]

Hi,

 

I want to redirect a folder and also a folder within a folder to my homepage. Will the following redirect work?

 

RewriteRule ^images/(.*) http://www.website.com [R=301,L]

RewriteRule ^images/subfolder(.*) http://www.website.com [R=301,L]

 

Thanks

The second one is pointless because the first one will include the subfolder.

 

That will redirect everything that tries to go to images/* to the homepage. If you have an image in there then it will not work. Is that what you want?

[toolman]

Thanks for the reply.

 

I want to redirect anyone trying to access the /images folder and also one specific folder within /images. There are other folders in there, but they could still be accessed.

 

Is that possible?

 

Thanks

Inside /images/.htaccess try

RewriteRule ^/?$ / [L,R=301]

RewriteRule ^/?subfolder(/|$) / [L,R=301]

[toolman]

Thanks, would that be the only code i would need to put in the file - just two lines?

[toolman]

I now have this, but it displays a forbiddon error:

 

<Files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/?$ / [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^/?subdirectory(/|$) / [L,R=301]

[toolman]

Actually, it does work many thanks
