Rewrite Help: folder1/folder2/index.php to folder1/index.html

[sjariri]

I reviewed many related threads here, but couldn't get my htaccess work for this rewrite:

[test.com...]
to
[test.com...]

Would appreciate any help,

Hi sjariri,

Please post your attempt at coding this, so we can discuss it. It can save a lot of time, and help you get a better answer.

Or, for more information, see the documents cited in our forum charter [webmasterworld.com] and the tutorials in the Apache forum section of the WebmasterWorld library [webmasterworld.com].

Thanks jdMorgan. Here is what I have: (in the .htaccess of the folder1 directory)

RewriteRule ^index\.html$ [test.com...]

It works quite fine. But the problem is that all links and images in index.php are relative to that directory, so when I successfully see [test.com...] it is not loading images and links properly. Any idea on how to overcome this issue?

Thanks,

[jdMorgan]

Yes, remember that relative URLs are resolved by the client (e.g. the browser). So the browser will interpret the relative URLs it finds on your pages, in relation to whatever 'directory-level' it thinks the current page URL represents. The browser has no knowledge of your server-internal rewrites.

So, you will need to either rewrite all of the included page elements' URL-paths, use server-relative URLs, or use absolute URLs -- i.e., use <img src="/path-to-image-from-web-root"> or <img src="http://www.example.com/path-to-image">.
