Hi,

I'm helping a friend that has a pretty sophisticated htaccess file and my htaccess skills are limited.

The link is in the form of http://www.domain.tld/state/city-content/

The file to display is in the directory /state/

The file name is city-content.php

I've looked around at a couple tutorials and the Apache docs and it all looks like Greek to me.

I'm inclined to write a rule something like RewriteRule ^/state/city-content/$ /state/ city-content.php [R=301,L] but that does not seem to work.

Also I want the URL to not change.

Any help with a rewrite rule would be very appreciated.

RewriteRule ^/state/city-content/$ /state/city-content/city-content.php [R=301,L]

Basically it has three sections:
RewriteCond (Starts with ^ and ends with $
RewriteRule (the full patch and filename)
Tags (on the end in [ ] for types of rewrites)

Just make sure your path is correct based on DocumentRoot (defined in the httpd.conf or vhost.conf file for a VirtualHost).

And look at your access_log and error_logs for clues.

Thanks in advance!
