Once in a while I have to fuddle around with mod_rewrite or rather Apache’s redirect. Now I have a simple task, that drives me nuts, cause I can’t get it working:

Everything that was under /journal/(.*) is now under /blog/(.*).

This is what I have now:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^/journal/([^/]+)$ /blog/$1

If it matters: this is a drupal installation.

    • Drupal has existing rewrite rules in .htaccess. If you put your rules at the top of the file, Drupal’s rules may override them.
    • I don’t think you want the starting / in your rule.
    • If you’re expecting the rule to redirect folks who use the old /blog/ URL, you’re mistaken. If that’s what you’re trying to do, you’ll need to perform a redirection, like this:

    .

    RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^journal/(.+)$ http://example.com/blog/$1 [R=301,L]
