I have, let’s say, http://www.website.org/folder/ which inside has the following .htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^folder/[0-9]+ http://www.website.org/folder/index.php?n=$1 [NC]

inside folder I have many folders like 1234, 4567, etc. The behavior I’m looking for is a rewriting from www.website.org/folder/1234 to www.website.org/folder/index.php?n=1234. However, for some reason the rewriting doesn’t occur and I get a Forbidden error (given that you can’t access the directory itself).

How can I solve this?
Thank you very much

— Note: I had to put away Options +FollowSymlinks because I was getting a Option FollowSymLinks not allowed here error from the provider’s webserver.

Following Jason’s post I modified the .htaccess as follows (I still kept it in folder):

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /folder/
RewriteRule ^folder/([0-9]+)/?$ /folder/index.php?n=$1 [NC,L]

But it still brings me to the folder, why is this? Thanks!

    The way your rule is written, .htaccess should be in your webroot not the folder directory.

    Alternatively, you could modify your RewriteBase. However, I’d do the above and use:

    RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^folder/([0-9]+)/?$ /folder/index.php?n=$1 [NC,L]
