.htaccess remove subdirectories from URL

Question

I have a URL:

"http://www.example.com/pages/about.html"

I've been able to get rid of the file extensions and add a "/" at the end to create:

"http://www.example.com/pages/about/"

using:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ $1.html RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/$ /$1/$2.html RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,5}|/)$ RewriteRule (.*)$ /$1/ [R=301,L]

Next, I need to remove the pages subdirectory folder from the URL so that I get:

"http://www.example.com/about/"

Not possible.. You can get /services/service1/ and /about/ , but not /service1/ and /about/. You need to keep the /services/ before service1 otherwise it'll break — Tom

Ok, I'll add everything in the services folder to the pages folder and delete the services folder. What code do I add to .htaccess file and do I put it before or after the current code I have? — inspile

If you don't want /services/ before your services, then you'll have to move your service pages to the "pages" folder where your other files are, and then replace

RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ $1.html RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/$ /$1/$2.html

with

RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ /pages/$1.html
