How to redirect existing URL rewrites to newer

[mfaisalwarraich]

Hi everybody,

I have some rule defined in .htaccess file inside my webroot folder which is working fine. That rule is as follows:

 RewriteRule    ^page/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$     index.php?page=$1    [NC,L]    # Process pages

My current page url according to the above rule can be:
http://www.mywebsite.c om/page/abc

and this will be translated to server as:
http://www.mywebsite.c om?index.php?pa ge=abc

Now i want to eliminate word page from my existing URL i.e. from http://www.mywebsite.c om/page/abc and want to write it like http://www.mywebsite.c om/abc

Please tell me how i can do this? or i have to define a separate rule for each n every URL?

thanx
regards

Faisal

You would just remove the "page/" from your regular expression. ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ would translate all requests like example.com/abc to example.com/index.php?page= abc.

i never tested your answer but i found solution to this:

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$  index.php?page=$1

thank you for your reply :).
