Topic: Help on ReWriteRule

[jponnusamy]

Dear All,
I am new to Apache, We have requirement to hide subfolder from User perspective like below:

[Steffen]

Is this the same issue in your other post before ?

Did you try:

RewriteRule /sites/fr_CA/(.*) http://cmspweb1.com/sites/fr/$1 [R=301,L]

[jponnusamy]

Dear Steffen,

Thanks for your response, I tried URL is getting change but page is not loading.
"The request page doesn't exist. Please double check to make sure you have the correct URL."
Kindly please help on this.

[Steffen]

RewriteEngine on ?

You can also try:

RedirectMatch "^/sites/fr_CA/(.*)" "http://cmspweb1.com/sites/fr/$1"

Hi Steffen,

Yes RewriteEngine On

URL is getting change as expected
http://cmspweb1.com/sites/fr/xxxx
But still getting Page cannot be displayed page only.

Thanks

http://cmspweb1.com/sites/fr/xxxx , does it exist when you type it in your browser ?

[jponnusamy]

No, getting 404 Error

[Steffen]

Rewriting to a non-existing url, does not make sense

[jponnusamy]

Actually we want to show fr_CA as fr, but we dont have "fr" folder exist on our system.

Is there any way to do it, Kindly please help me on this.

Thanks
Jayaram
