assistance with .htaccess

[eitai2001]

Hi Guys.

I recently moved my site to a new system, but I'm having an issue with old linked url's on search engines.

Using mod_rewrite, how would I change this:

http://www.androidza.co.za/content/sony-ericsson-xperia-x10-mini-review/

to this:

http://www.androidza.co.za/sony-ericsson-xperia-x10-mini-review/

I.e. All I need to tell the .htaccess to do is detect if there is the "content/" sub folder and remove it.

I've tried a few things which didn't work

Regards

Itai

You can try the following rewrite:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^content/(.+)$ http://www.androidza.co.za/$1 [R=301,L]

That worked ... thanks ... I was close to what you did ... but I don't understand the regex part so I just wrote (+) ... I also didn't put the full domain or the last brackets, I just wrote /$1
