Question

I’m in the process of testing a site at a preview URL until the DNS transfers over. I’m previewing the site at http://IP_ADDRESS/~name/.

All of my images that have been uploaded in the CMS are listed like <img src="/uploads/images/">.

But this doesn’t work while i’m on the preview URL. So ideally I need to redirect /uploads/* to /~name/uploads/*

I was wondering if this should be a redirect or a rewrite in htaccess and what the rule might be?

Thanks.

This is the code you’ll need in your .htaccess under DOCUMENT_ROOT:

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^uploads/ ~name%{REQUEST_URI} [L,NC]
