hidden rewrite/redirect?

[superspyro]

Hi, I'm been at this for the better part of the day, and I can't seem to figure it out -- maybe 'cause I don't know Apache....

I want to accomplish two things:

1) create a rule so that when people go to http://www.example.com/foo/ it reads from http://www.example.com/foo/bar without showing "bar" in the address line.

2) create a rule that when people go to http://www.example.com/foo/blog/ it reads from http://www.example.com/foo/blog and doesn't try to go to http://www.example.com/foo/bar/blog.

Does that make sense? I'm even confusing myself.

--so very lost...

Let's see your code.

It should be two very simple

RewriteRule

lines, with the blog rule listed first so that is processed first.

I see one RewriteRule, with a RewriteCond exception for /blog path requests.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.[^.]+\.example\.com/blog$
RewriteRule ^(.+) %{HTTP_HOST}$1 [C]
RewriteRule ^www\.([^.]+)\.example\.com/foo(.*) /public_html/example/foo/bar$1$2

Too complicated, and no exclusion...

Also doesn't match the description you posted above very well.

This should be closer to what you described:

RewriteEngine on
#
# Internally rewrite requests for "/foo/<anything>"
# except "/foo/blog" to "/foo/bar/<anything>"
RewriteCond $1 !^foo/blog
RewriteRule ^foo/(.*)$ /foo/bar/$1 [L]

Works great, Jim. Thanks for your help. I have a lot to learn. (:
