On a local network, I have some URLs that I want to make easier. For example:

Actual path:

http://localserver/sites/website.com/html

Which I want to access with:

http://localserver/website

I don’t want the full path to be shown.

I have this in my .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/website
RewriteRule ^website(.com)?(/.*)?$ /sites/website.com/html$2 [P,L]

It works as expected when there’s a trailing slash or a file in the request, but if there isn’t it redirects to the full path.

These work:

These redirect to the real path:

What do I need to change to always mask the path?
