.htaccess redirect a folder within a folder

Hi All,

I have a folder within a folder that needs redirecting, for example:

http://www.domain.com/directory/folder1 which needs re-directing to http://www.domain.com/directory/folder2 and have been using the following code:

Code:

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^(.*)/folder1/(.*)$ $1/folder2/$2 [R,L]

However this is re-directing to http://www.domain.com/var/www/vhosts...ctory/folder2/

Any ideas how to fix this?

people love rewrite these days... ;)

if you want redirect http://example.com/testdir/dir1/ to http://example.com/testdir/dir2/
you put yhis in .htaccess :

Code:

Redirect 301 /testdir/dir1/ /testdir/dir2/

Rewrite is for rewriting
Redirect for redirecting
