I was trying to redirect /foswiki/bin/view to /view. Apparently the redirect tool in cPanel doesn't work when given a URL path that corresponds to a real directory. I found that I had to put my rewrite rules in the .htaccess in the foswiki/bin subdirectory, not in the root directory.
Furthermore, the 'source' URLs didn't have the /foswiki/bin part. Here are the rules that I am using right now:
redirect a URL path that exists in the filesystem

Hi,
I was trying to redirect /foswiki/bin/view to /view. Apparently the redirect tool in cPanel doesn't work when given a URL path that corresponds to a real directory. I found that I had to put my rewrite rules in the .htaccess in the foswiki/bin subdirectory, not in the root directory.
Furthermore, the 'source' URLs didn't have the /foswiki/bin part. Here are the rules that I am using right now:
RewriteRule ^view$ "/view" [R=302,L,NE]
RewriteRule ^view/(.*) "/view/$1" [R=302,L,NE]
