I am trying to rewrite the folder:

http://www.mysite.com/plan-your-visit/what-to-eat/

to:

http://www.mysite.com/restaurants

I am using the following rule:

RewriteRule ^plan-your-visit/what-to-eat/?$ /restaurants [NC,NS,R=301]

When I go to http://www.mysite.com/plan-your-visit/what-to-eat/ it does rewrite the url but the content is gone and I get a 404 error. I am not trying to redirect, just to rewrite.

Thanks in advance.

The config should be:

RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^plan-your-visit/what-to-eat/?$ restaurants [NC,L]

I appreciate your response. I actually did try that format, however, that for some reason does not even rewrite the url. The url stays the same but I get a 404 error.

Ok, then please specify the version and build of ISAPI_Rewrite you are using.
Then please enable logging in httpd.conf as per instructions in our FAQ.
And provide rewrite and error logs records that will be generated upon your request.

I am using ISAPI_Rewrite 3.1.0.63 I do not have access to the logs.

I am running over 500 redirects from an isapi_mod_rewrite.ini file. They are all working properly except for this one.

Also, there are other rules redirects to "plan-your-visit/what-to-eat/"
(ex: RewriteRule ^partners\.cfm$ /plan-your-visit/what-to-eat/\? [NC,NS,R=301])

Now I am trying to keep the content at "plan-your-visit/what-to-eat/" but redirect it to "/restaurants"

I tried a number of things meaning to make sure these other rewrites can still exist.

I tried removing the other redirects to what-to-eat, but unless I missed one, it was still giving me the 404. That was when I got frustrated and posted this.

Hope this new info will make a difference.

Thanks again for the help.

Thanks for explanation. Let's try to use the following set of rules:

RewriteRule ^plan-your-visit/what-to-eat/?$ restaurants [NC,R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^restaurants$ plan-your-visit/what-to-eat/ [NC,L]
