I am trying to rewrite this URL

https://example.com/html/mypage

to

https://example.com/mypage

The destination is the same html page, only the displayed URL needs to change.

  • show us the content of your current `.htaccess` did you attempt any redirection? somthing as simple as `Redirect /html/mypage.html /mypage.html` should work. – PA. Mar 29 '23 at 16:55
  • Why do you want to rewrite from a complex URL to a simpler one? Usually rewrites map a simple URL that users see to a more complex URL with URL parameters that is easily digestible by your web framework. I suspect that you actually have what you want backwards. I suspect you want to rewrite the display URL of `/mypage` to get processed by `/html/mypage`. – Stephen Ostermiller Mar 29 '23 at 19:17

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^mypage$ /html/pagename [L]

You can solve your problem by adding the above code lines to .htaccess Replace pagename with the name of the page you want

  • That rewrite does the opposite of what they asked for (but this is probably what they actually want.) – Stephen Ostermiller Mar 29 '23 at 19:18
  • This requires the distributed configuration file to be located in the html folder. That should at least be mentioned in the answer. Better even explained or not be required. – arkascha Mar 29 '23 at 19:30
