Question

I have a url for ex :

example.com/site/anyFolderName

and i want to remap it to:

example.com/site/myfolder/anyFolderName

but only go there if ‘anyFolderName’ folder exists.I’ve searched in a few places for this but can’t really figure it out.

Here’s what i found out so far :

Rewrite Condition to compare top level directory from Request_URI – very similar with what i need but i have 2 levels

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/rewrite/remapping.html #Search for pages in more than one directory

Thank you.

Try adding the following to the .htaccess file in the root directory of your site.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase / 

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/site/(\w+)$ [NC] 
#if site/myfolder/anyFolderName exists
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/site/myfolder/%1 -d
#rewrite request to site/myfolder/anyfolder
RewriteRule ^ site/myfolder/%1 [L,NC]
