Simple htaccess rules for clean URLs not showing static media

Question

After looking at 4-5 different ways to get simple clean URLs for static files, we found one that was simple and easy to implement/maintain over multiple folder and files.

One problem, it wont load the js/css/images from that folder it is looking at.

Here is the rule - it loads the html ok, but not the images, etc which are in the /images folder of /hello

RewriteRule ^hello/$ /hello/index.html [L]

RewriteRule ^company/$ /hello/company.html [L]

Any suggestions, folks?

Answer 1

Your problem is that you are rewriting the /company to /hello/company.html, so the browser thinks you have opened http://yoursite.com/company If the image is loaded with a relative url, it then tries to load the picture with an URL http://yoursite.com/company/images/pic.jpg So you have to rewrite everything in the non-existant /company/images folder to /hello/images folder

RewriteRule ^company/images/(.+) /hello/images/$1 [L]

Answer 2

Or move your static assets to a different host/subdomain.
