I have this rule in an .htaccess file located in a directory named clips/
:
RewriteRule ^mlk/?$ segment/index.php?clip=1 [R=301,QSA,L]
What I am intending is that when someone visits http://example.local/clips/mlk
they are redirected to http://example.local/clips/segment/index.php?clip=1
What actually happens is that when someone visits example.local/clips/mlk
they are redirected to example.local/var/www/example/clips/segment/index.php?clip=1
I'm not sure why it's doing this. If I change the rewrite rule to this:
RewriteRule ^mlk/?$ /segment/index.php?clip=1 [R=301,QSA,L]
The user is redirected to example.local/segment/index.php?clip=1, which is still incorrect. I don't want to have to specify an absolute path in the case of these files being moved around the website's directory tree. How can I get this to work relatively instead of absolutely?
