So

http://www.domain.com/category/postname/

would automatically 301 to

http://www.domain.com/category/postname.html

I guess you mean to say you can't help with this matter

I searched for this:

and found this:

Haven't tested it, but something like:

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule categories/(.*)/? categories/$1.html [R=301]

Here's a handly little rewrite cheat sheet for you mod rewrite fans from some dude who apparently digs on jack daniels:

that is what I meant...

psili, that code won't work, because .* matches everything 0 or more times and /? matches a character 0 times or once... so this code of yours would match
http://www.domain.com/category/postname.html also

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule $categories/([^/\.]+)/?^ categories/$1.html [R=301]

this would match everything except for / and . 1 or more times, so http://www.domain.com/category/postname.html would not match...

This is not tested also, so maybe there are errors in this too

Note that the above code will work in .htacces only, to use it in httpd.conf you should add / right before the categories, like this:

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule $/categories/([^/\.]+)/?^ /categories/$1.html [R=301]

thanks for the info guys. The example I posted was rather specific, the solution I need will be a little more complex since I am looking into redirecting URLs in different subfolders, not just /categories/. But nonetheless, I can start with the info that was posted here.

**J.P.** · 09-17-2005, 02:47 AM

Not a problem:

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule $(dir1|dir2|dir3|dir4)/([^/\.]+)/?^ $1/$2.html [R=301]
