Question

I need some help figuring out how to write this .htaccess.

My file is in mywebsite/part5/thanksfordownload.html. How to use .htaccess to have url mywebsite/thankyoufordownload.html?

I tried using this for the .htaccess but no dice. I tried uploading it both in the root and in the folder itself.

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /part5/$1 [L]

Not sure what went wrong in this part,
thanks for your views & comments in advance!

Ok so basically if you only want that rule – you’d want to do something like this –

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^thankyoufordownload.html$ /part5/thankyoufordownload.html [L]
