I want to redirect url using htaccess file from project root folder.
I can easily redirect url like www.xyz.com/ar/contact to www.xyz.com/contact using this
Redirect 301 /ar/contact/ /contact/
but how to redirect url like this
www.xyz.com/ar/shop/xyz.html to www.xyz.com/shop/xyz.html
I have tried this
Redirect 301 /ar/shop/^(.*)$ /shop/$1
Redirect /ar/shop/^(.*)$ /shop/$1 [R=301,L]
Redirect ^/ar/shop/(.*) /shop/$1
but it did't work.
Could you please try following. Written and tested with shown samples only.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/ar/(.*)/? [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) /%1 [R=301,NE,L]
You can not use a regex based pattern in Redirect directive. If you want to redirect everything that comes after /ar/shop/ to /shop/ then just use a static pattern /ar/shop/ .
Redirect 301 /ar/shop/ /shop/
This will redirect all URIs starting with /ar/shop/ to /shop/ . forexample /ar/shop/foobar will get redirected to /shop/foobar > .
