Hello all,
I want to change my current url to a modified one. suppose my current url is www.abc.com/xyz/location.htm i want it to change to www.abc.com/location.htm
please suggest a suitable way.... Thanks in advance
A:
If you are running Apache servers, I'd suggest using mod_rewrite.
In that case you should have something like this in your .htaccess -file at the top level of your server root:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^abc.com/xyz/(.*)$ <your_root_directory>/$1

here <your_root_directory> refers to where my application is present in tomcat??

It's the URL to the root of your application, so if you want to remove xyz, it should be enough just to remove the your directory part altogether. Also I am not sure if you need the host part (^abc.com) either if you use .htaccess at the top of your web application.

@neeraj: Your comment above appears to suggest that you may be using "tomcat". Just to clarify, are you using "Apache Webserver" or "Apache Tomcat"? They are 2 very different things.

My war file is deployed in apache tomcat....n i m access it using Apache Webserver.Hence instead of giving localhost:8080 to open the application m using only localhost.
