I have installed Yourls in my domain under a subdirectory The service works on its place. A working url is http://mydomain.com/1/abc where 1 is the subdirectory.
Is there a way to make a rule to be able to call http://mydomain.com/1abc to resolve to the working url http://mydomain.com/1/abc ?
I don´t quite understand where to put it and how to setup the rule, since I am not sending parameters.
Thanks
Assuming the subdirectory always consists of numbers, and the subdirectory is a physical directory, make a file .htaccess in your www-root and add the following to it:
RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/([0-9]+)[^/]*$ RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%1 -d RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)([^/]*)$ /$1/$2 [L] It first checks if the url matches ^([0-9]+)([^/]*)$ (starts with 1 or more numbers, and contains any non-slash character after that. The RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/([0-9]+)[^/]*$ matches the same thing, because we need the supposed directory-part in the next condition. RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%1 -d checks if the number we think is a subdirectory, is actually a directory. If that is the case, the url will be internally rewritten to /number/restoftheurl.
