mod_rewrite

Oracle HTTP Server Administrator’s Guide

If there was a request for /demo1/not_just_index.html, all the preceding
rewrite rules would have redirected the request the request to
/alldemos/index.html

, that may not be what you want. It is quite possible that

you may want to redirect to the corresponding files in /alldemos, as listed in

.

Then you have to use substitution in your rewrite rule as follows:

RewriteRule ^/demos1(.*)$ //alldemos/$1 [R NC]

The explanation for this rule is:

Take the value of the expression, such as happy.html, go.jpg, and lucky.jpg,
that appears after demo1 as variables ($1) and substitute it after /alldemos/.

For redirecting requests from the DocumentRoot to a directory called newroot, set
the following mod_rewrite directives:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /newroot/$1 [R]

For directing requested for files from one directory (olddir) to another (newdir),
set the following directives:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^/olddir(.*)$ /newdir/$1 [R]

In each of these cases, you should ensure that the requested resources are indeed
available in the redirected location. The mod_rewrite module does not ensure the
existence of the requested resource in the new location.

/demo1/happy.html

/alldemos/happy.html

/demo1/go.jpg

/alldemos/go.jpg

/demos1/lucky.jpg

/alldemos/lucky.jpg
