Desperate: Rewrite directory to another directory

[Xerxes]

I've been trying for the last 4 hours, dozens and dozens of variants to get this working and I'm not any closer to getting it right.

Say my site is www.bleh.com. I have a real directory called apples. I want to give links out that goto a directory called oranges that does not really exist. The oranges directory will just pull up files from the apples directory. However, the url needs to stay as oranges and the customer should not notice anything than if they went to the apples directory.

This seems really easy.

Real directories/files:
www.bleh.com/apples/bleh.php
www.bleh.com/apples/desert/yum.php

Links given out (the directory does not really exist)
www.bleh.com/oranges/bleh.php
www.bleh.com/oranges/desert/yum.php

Help, please!

Put this in a .htaccess file in your / (root) directory.

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^oranges/(.*)$ /apples/$1 [QSA,L]
