Remove folder from url

[primowebmedia Profile]

Hi

I need to remove a folder from every dynamically created url, for example:

http://forum.mydomain.com/forum/forum_p ... 706#216706

needs to redirect to

http://forum.mydomain.com/forum_posts.a ... 706#216706

Can anybody help?

Hello,

try to use the following:

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^forum/forum_posts\.asp$ /forum_posts.asp [NC,QSA,R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^forum_posts\.asp$ /forum/forum_posts.asp [NC,QSA,L]

Regards

I tried that Andrew but I just get a 404 page error.

Ok, do you get 301 redirect?

Yes it redirects the url correctly but it says 'The page cannot be found', and the #216706 is removed from the url.

Oh, the '#' will not work. It's something your browser processes and performs, not the server, so server will simply drop it after redirect. This could be the problem.
Please, provide rewrite.log for the testing request. Logging issues described in FAQ
