Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews# Turn mod_rewrite onRewriteEngine OnRewriteBase /RewriteRule ^Portfolios/(.*)$ /$1 [L,NC,R]Explanation: Above rules is matching URL patter that starts with Portfolios and have somthing like /Portfolios/xyz/app and puts xyz/app in $1. It makes an external redirection to /$1 i.e. /xyz/app.
These are the flags used:
L - LastNC - Ignore (No) Case comparisonR - External redirection (with 302) -- can be changed to R=301
You can also set your root directory as /var/www/Portfolios instead of /var/www/ in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled by writing DocumentRoot line as
DocumentRoot /var/www/Portfolios
instead of DocumentRoot /var/www/and also this line< Directory /var/www/ > changed to
< Directory /var/www/Portfolios/ >
