Can Mod rewrite change folder names??

    I don't have parameter based URLs but I'm desperate to figure out how to simply change folder names from their default.

    Consider: 2 different domains hosted by the same platform; each with unique content but, being powered by the same platform, they have to follow the same URL Structure.

    http://www.site.com/category/place/file.html

    http://www.secondsite.com/category/place/file.html

    Because of the demographic of the second site, I need to get the URLs changed to something more user friendly

    http://www.site.com/category/place/file.html

    http://www.secondsite.com/section/location/page.html

    Will a mod rewrite do this?

    If not, is there any solution??

    Thanks!!!

    I'm not sure if I understand what you want because we are talking about two different websites but I would try walking around this (untested) rule:

    
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}  ^/category/place/file.html [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)  http://www.secondsite.com/section/location/page.html [R=301,L]
    Code (markup):
