This may seem like a silly question, but I can't figure it out.
let's say I have a public_html folder with various folders, such as: Albatross, Blackbirds, Crows and Faqs.
I want to make sure that any traffic to Albatross / faqs.php, Blackbirds / faqs.php, Crows / faqs.php, etc. will see the file which is in faqs / faqs.php? bird = albatross or faqs / faqs.php? bird = crows or whatever you have.
If I go into the .htaccess file of the Albatross folder, I can do this
RewriteRule faqs.php$ /faqs/faqs.php?cat=albatross[QSA]
Which works fine, but I want to put something in the top level .htacces, which works for all of them, so I tried:
RewriteRule faqs.php$ /faqs/faqs.php?cat=albatross[QSA] RewriteRule /(.*)/faqs.php$ /faqs/faqs.php?cat=$1 [QSA]
and even
RewriteRule /albatross/faqs.php$ /faqs/faqs.php?cat=albatross [QSA]
and others, but nothing works when I go to http://www.birdsandwhatnot.com/albatross/faqs.php I see the same file as always, Does the .htaccess file in the subfolder have a conflict with the file above .htaccess?
Did I miss something?
