Try this instead: <br />

<pre><code id="code-20-42500888-1">RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/?(.+/)?([^/]+)$ /$1index.cfm?p=$2 [NC,L]</code></pre>
</div>


Try this instead:


RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/?(.+/)?([^/]+)$ /$1index.cfm?p=$2 [NC,L]

There we go. Thanks so much!

I'm trying to create a single .htaccess file that makes seo-friendly URL's for the root directory AND subdirectories. For example:<br />
<br />
testsite.com/index.cfm?p=a<wbr />bout &gt;&nbsp;testsite.com/about<br />
<br />
BUT ALSO<br />
<br />
testsite.com/subdirectory/<wbr />index.cfm?<wbr />p=widgets &gt;&nbsp;testsite.com/subdirectory/<wbr />widgets<br />
<br />
I can do the first with the following code...<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-10-29089055-1">RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) index.cfm?p=$1 [NC,L]</code></pre>
<br />
...but this will send testsite.com/subdirectory/<wbr />index.cfm?<wbr />p=widgets to testsite.com/widgets<br />
<br />
Can you help me with redirecting subdirectories properly? Everything I've found on Google just shows you how to redirect specific subdirectories, not how to capture the subdirectory you're currently in. Thanks!

How can I have one .htaccess file handle SEO-friendly URLs for root and subdirectories?

A regular expression ("regex") is a sequence of characters that define a search pattern, mainly for use in pattern matching with strings, or string matching, i.e. "find and replace"-like operations. Regular expression processors are found in several search engines, search and replace dialogs of several word processors and text editors, and in the command lines of text processing utilities, such as sed and AWK. Many programming languages provide regular expression capabilities, some built-in, for example Perl, JavaScript, Ruby, AWK, and Tcl, and others via a standard library, for example .NET languages, Java, Python and C++ (since C++11). Most other languages offer regular expressions via a library.
