Rewriting directory name with .htaccess

[Stefany93]

Howdy,

 

I have a directory named directory1 and the user can access it by typing www.example.com/directory1. However, I want to make it so that the user would type www.example.com/directory2 but they will land on wwww.example.com/directory1, but the URL will show www.example.com/directory2

 

 I tried doing that with this .htaccess:

 

 

    RewriteRule /directory2/ /directory1/

 

but it didn't work. I also searched in google but in vain. Please help!

RewriteRule ^/directory2/$ /directory1/

You need to also pass on the file request too

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^/directory2/(.*)$ /directory1/$1

It is correct. Check out whether you have directories with these names in apache web root folder.
