Mod_rewrite Question
 

Hi,

I am trying to redirect someone when they type in the following but no idea how to do it using the mod_rewrite way using .htaccess

When they type in this I want them to be rediected here.

Type : http://mysite.com/mail/ Goto ===>> http://mysite.com/cgi-bin/qmailadmin/
Type : http://mysite.com/webmail/ Goto ===>> http://mysite.com/horde3/

Assuming you have apache compiled with mod_rewrite, put the following in your .htaccess file...

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^webmail horde3
RewriteRule ^mail qmailadmin


This assumes that nothing appears after mail, so its not mail/somefile.php?foo=bar

If you want to keep the stuff after mail, use
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^webmail/(.*) horde3/$1
RewriteRule ^mail/(.*) qmailadmin/$1

Thanks it worked
