htaccess to multiple folders

Recommended Posts

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]

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

Then don't put the files into subdirectories.

What I'm trying to understand is why you want everything to look and act a certain way but weren't making it actually be that way.

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]
