.htaccess directory issue

Try the following:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} example\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /spa/dist/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^api/(.*)$ /api/public/$1 [R=301,NC,L]

Select allOpen in new window

You may have a problem with the API folder though

That worked but here is a issue.

the source code points to the following css path /css/styles.css  but the file doesn't exist another rewrite needs to be done so that anything with the following will be pointing to the dist folder

images | css | js

so so everything works now just we need the images css and js folder to be rewritten in apache

Try

RewriteRule ^(.*\.(gif|jpg|png))$ /spa/dist/$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*\.(js))$ /spa/dist/$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*\.(css))$ /spa/dist/$1 [QSA,L]

Select allOpen in new window

If they are linked as in a folder you could try:

RewriteRule ^images/(.*)$ /spa/dist/$1 [R=301,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^css/(.*)$ /spa/dist/$1 [R=301,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^js/(.*)$ /spa/dist/$1 [R=301,NC,L]

Select allOpen in new window

If not if the website is internet facing if you could give me a link to see how it is displaying or paste the source code.

1) Tip: Only use 302s. If you use 301s, then you'll end up with links cached in your browser forever. This means no changes you make will register in your browser, till you clear your cache.

2) For mydomain.com to reach /myweb/spa/dist the simple solution is to make the the document root, so no .htaccess entry.

3) Place files in /api/public/* folder into /myweb/spa/dist/api to serve those files.

Seems like you're making this overly complex.

If I understand your question correctly, there's no requirement for any .htaccess rules, just a simple directory hierarchy.

4) Mentioning styles.css suggests you may be working with a WordPress site, so best describe the code you're working with.

For example, custom code or some CMS code like WordPress, as this will limit or change any type of .htaccess contents you use.

So what would be best so that nothing gets cached. You can include that in the .htaccess as well

Here is the issue

this code here

Its linked like this in code.

<link href=/js/app.d44788ce.js rel=preload as=script>

Select allOpen in new window

the file doesn't exist but it exists in  spa/dist/js/app.d44788ce.js

this code doesn't work

RewriteRule ^images/(.*)$ /spa/dist/$1 [R=301,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^css/(.*)$ /spa/dist/$1 [R=301,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^js/(.*)$ /spa/dist/$1 [R=301,NC,L]

Select allOpen in new window

Or this

RewriteRule ^(.*\.(gif|jpg|png))$ /spa/dist/$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*\.(js))$ /spa/dist/$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*\.(css))$ /spa/dist/$1 [QSA,L]

Select allOpen in new window

That sorta of worked but if you go here

/spa/dist/img/logo.82b9c7a5.png

The image will show up but what I need is

/spa/img/logo.82b9c7a5.png

should be able to do that without the redirect

RewriteRule ^spa/img/(.*)$ /spa/dist/img/$1 [R=302,NC,L]

I tried that doesn't work here is the code

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} lamc\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /spa/dist/$1 [L]

RewriteRule ^api/(.*)$ /api/public/$1 [R=302,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^spa/img/(.*)$ /spa/dist/img/$1 [R=302,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^spa/js/(.*)$ /spa/dist/js/$1 [R=302,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^spa/css/(.*)$ /spa/dist/css/$1 [R=302,NC,L]

Select allOpen in new window

I get 404 errors

If I understand, you're trying to...

1) Arrange your assets (files) across some directories.

2) Then reference these assets by a different path.

3) With no redirects.

Likely answer will be to just use symlinks on the disk.

This means your .htaccess file will be empty.

No Problem,
