I had a wordpress blog on root. Now I have to move to /blog, and put a drupal site on root. I want all links like; http://www.example.com/2009/11/some-post-title/ to http://www.example.com/blog/2009/11/some-post-title/ and http://example.com/2009/11/some-post-title/ to http://example.com/blog/2009/11/some-post-title/ i.e. to redirect all urls starting with 2009 to /blog suffixing the original path. While there will be another site on http://example.com/, built with Drupal, clean urls enabled. So I need both sites work. There is already a .htaccess file, from drupal in root folder. # # Apache/PHP/Drupal settings: # # Protect files and directories from prying eyes. <FilesMatch "\.(engine|inc|info|install|module|profile|test|po|sh|.*sql|theme|tpl(\.php)?|xtmpl|svn-base)$|^(code-style\.pl|Entries.*|Repository|Root|Tag|Template|all-wcprops|entries|format)$"> Order allow,deny </FilesMatch> # Don't show directory listings for URLs which map to a directory.

Put this line in your htaccess just after the RewriteEngine On line RewriteRule ^/?(2009/.*)$ /blog/$1 [L] Code (markup):
I haven't tried it on example.com, but tried subdomain.example.com in same way, and it didn't work. I am getting a 404 error page of Drupal, and no change in URL occured.

starter needs old pages /2009/... be accessed as blog/2009/... but you did vice versa Try this one RewriteRule ^blog/([0-9]+/.*)$ $1 [L] Code (markup):
