I want to apply below rewrite rule in apache

Source Destination
/products/touchapps.html /content/dotcom/products
/touchapps.html

directory wide Rewrite? E.g. everything under /products/touchapps/* goes to the destination

Hi,

I guess you mean everything under /products. If that's the case, then you can use:

Code:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/products
RewriteRule products/(.*) /content/dotcom/products/$1

I think an mod_alias is more efficient than mod_rewrite. Something like:

Alias /products /var/www/content/dotcom/products

Where "/var/www" represents whatever is your document root, since "Alias" can be used to access folders outside the server's document root.
