[users@httpd] Help Gor básico ( :-) ) rewrite

[Aitor Iturriondobeitia <la...@gmail.com>]

Hello, I'm new to this topic and I'm finding it difficult. Let's see if you
can help me please.
I am trying to remove the contextroot from my application.
For example, I have the following URL that calls me:
www.domain.com/REDF00K/form.xhtml
and I want to eliminate, in the rewrite, the REDF00K leaving
www.domain.com/form.xhtml
in such a way that if they call me to www.domain.com/REDF00K/form.xhtml it
would resolve internally to www.domain.com/form.xhtml
for this I am using

RewriteEngine On
LogLevel debug rewrite:trace3
RewriteRule ^/REDF00K/$ /$1 [R=301,NC,L]

but it's not working for me
Can you help me?

Thank you very much

You do not need a RewriteCond here, the RewriteRule directive is perfectly
capable of capturing the request uri path.

If you don't want the URL to change, then perhaps you should use AliasMatch
instead of mod_rewrite. If you want to change the URL, use RedirectMatch
instead.

Using mod_rewrite should be the last resort, and if chosen, using the
rewrite log to debug would help.

I think the main issue is you aren't capturing the portion of the 
original URL path that you want to use in the RewriteRule

Try this
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/REDF00K/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,NC,L]

I notice in the few places I've used mod_rewrite I have a RewriteCond, 
but I'm not positive if it is necessary. I don't think it is unless 
there's a condition you want to meet outside of the URL path. However, 
If the above doesn't work try:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/REDFOOK/
RewriteRule ^/REDF00K/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,NC,L]

(note... I didn't test any of this).
