Newbies to Rewrite, Please help me

Simple redirection

[MisterAoD]

Hi there,

I want my visitor to just enter a direct link let say:

1... mydomain.sth/internet-miku-yoyo.html or
2... mydomain.sth/semm-miku.html

As I upload my files at

3... mydomain.sth/doc/int_miku/internet-miku-yoyo.html or
4... mydomain.sth/doc/int_miku/semm-miku.html

I just want the link in 1... point to 3... and 2... point to 4... respectively with rewrite and, of course, other URLs without the keyword miku should not be redirected, is it possible?

I try the following code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.+)miku(.+)\.html$ doc/int_miku/$1miku$2.html [L]

But it gave me only a headache... 500 Internal server error :( What can I do or do I miss something?

Thx.

Try adding Options +FollowSymLinks. This option *must* be set, either in httpd.conf or in .htaccess, in order to enable mod_rewrite:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.+)miku([^.]*)\.html$ /doc/int_miku/$1miku$2.html [L]

If it still does not work, we'll need to see the contents of your server error log.
