Apache rewrite rule help?

Question

The only directory structure to change is browse to parts. How do I apply a rule in apache to successfully redirect.

Old

site.com/browse/games/en1873

New

site.com/parts/games/en1873

Answer 1

Quite simple. Just use:

RewriteRule ^/?old_directory/([a-z0-9/.]+)$ new_directory/$1 [R=301,L]

So in your case the following will work good:

RewriteRule ^/?browse/games/([a-z0-9/.]+)$ parts/games/$1 [R=301,L]
