Multiple htaccess files

[DaveMcW]

Is it possible to have two mod_rewrite rules in two .htaccess files at the same time?

For example,

/.htaccess

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.example\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/$1 [R=permanent,L]


/subfolder/.htaccess

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^test.txt$ source.txt [L]


So www.example.com/subfolder/test.txt points to example.com/subfolder/source.txt

Unfortunately, the /.htaccess rule seems to be ignored when I try this.

to /subfolder/.htaccess.

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteOptions Inherit

RewriteRule ^test\.txt$ ./source.txt [L]
