htaccess - Rewrite URL with . htaccess inside a subdirectory

Question

I am trying to rewrite a URL where the . htaccess file is inside a subdirectory.

Current URL: localhost/Development/Projects/redirect/index.php

URL I’d like to use: localhost/redirect/index.php

My intention is to hide the path to my index.php, not showing that my structure contains 'Development/Projects'. Also, use the . htaccess file inside the redirect folder as I intend to use one htaccess per project.

Htaccess:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^redirect/ ../../../index.php?url=$1 [L,QSA]

Structure:

• htdocs (root)
  • index.html
  • Developing
    • Projects
      • redirect
        • index php.
        • .htaccess

Answer 1

In order for your htaccess to do this it will need to be in the "htdocs folder";

Inside htaccess put the following code:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^redirect/$ Desenvolvimento/Projetos/redirect/ [QSA,L,NC]
