Question

I want to reqwrite a URL http://www.mysite.com/this/index.php
to http://www.mysite.com

I knwo it’s a bit complex..it tried this code on my root htaccess but it doesn’t seem to work
What am i doing wrong here?

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite\.us$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.mysite\.us$
RewriteRule ^/this/index.php$ /

Answer 1

erm, you wish to check against mysite.us and have used mysite.com in rewrite rule, Ignoring that fact, here is the result I think will work for you:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite\.(us|com)$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.mysite\.(us|com)$
RewriteRule ^this/index.php$ / [R]

Basically, I just removed the / character from ^/this because that’s how links are matched.

And the [R] means r edirect which means it changes the url in your browser. Otherwise you don’t see the url is changed, you only see the page is changed.

Here’s the screenshot from htaccess.madewithlove.be.
