I’m trying to redirect everything from for example:

mycomain.com/ST/My_Dir/anything

Where ST is equal to a state abbreviation and anything is equal to anything.

I tried the below code in my .htaccess file but it doesn’t work..

ErrorDocument 404 /index.php

RedirectMatch 404 ^[a-zA-Z]{2}/My_Dir/.*$

Also, is there a way that I can make My_Dir case-insensitive? I know how to do this in PHP but just not sure if it’s the same here.

    If you want to force specific urls to return 404 response, you can use:

    RewriteRule ^[A-Z]{2}/My_Dir/.* - [R=404,NC]

    instead of the RedirectMatch rule. Also to throw a 403 Forbidden you can just use F

    RewriteRule ^[A-Z]{2}/My_Dir/.* - [F,NC]

    In both examples, the NC flag makes the match case insensitive. Also I would not recommend using your homepage (/index.php) as your 404 page, better that you make a custom 404.php and set your ErrorDocument to that.
