[mod_rewrite] remove parts from url

[natnat]

Hello all
I user several rewrite rules on my server and they all work pretty fine.
now I need a new one that says everything with
[my.domain.com...]
will be rewritten to
[my.domain.com...]

only dir should be removed from the url is that possible?

TIA
Chris

Hi!

only dir should be removed from the url is that possible?

Sure.

Are you using the rules within a .htaccess in your document root? If so, you can use

RewriteRule ^dir/?(.*) /$1 [R=301,L]

to force the external redirect.

If you place the Rules in the ServerConfig, you should use

RewriteRule ^/dir/?(.*) /$1 [R=301,L]

You should place this rule above all other rules.

This would also match if no trailing slash is used (/dir). Especially yahoo requests "folder paths" without the trailing slash). If you don't need this, you can remove the questionmark to

^dir/(.*)
