Anyone familiar with Apache server

[Hon]

Help me!!! I need help on mod rewrite in .htaccess file.

Currently, I have a hundreds of shtml file sitting in www.domain.com/abc/ and its sub-sub directories. The contents were copied over to www.domain.com/xyz/ now but some of the 3rd or 4th level directory structure have been change.

I need to add in a mod rewrite in the .htaccess file to redirect users accessing the old site to the new site of the same page they requesting on the old. But if the new site does not host the old site pages anymore, it should move up 1 directory level and look for index.shtml.

Anyone can help me??

cks,

Thanks for replying... its not htpasswd concern. I'm looking in mod rewrite, its for URL rewriting and manipulation.

Its looks something like this,

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/xyz/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index\.shtml$

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteRule \.shtml$ http://www.example.com/xyz/index.shtml [R=301,L]
