This may seem like a silly question but I can't figure it out.
let's say I have a public_html folder with various folders like: Albatross, Blackbirds, Crows and Faqs.
I want to make it so that any traffic to Albatross/faqs.php, Blackbirds/faqs.php, Crows/faqs.php etc will see the file that is at faqs/faqs.php?bird=albatross or faqs/faqs.php?bird=crows or what have you.
If I go into the Albatross folder's .htaccess file I can do this
RewriteRule faqs.php$ /faqs/faqs.php?cat=albatross[QSA]
Which works fine, but I want to put something in the top level .htacces that works for all of them, so tried:
RewriteRule faqs.php$ /faqs/faqs.php?cat=albatross[QSA]
RewriteRule /(.*)/faqs.php$ /faqs/faqs.php?cat=$1 [QSA]
and even
RewriteRule /albatross/faqs.php$ /faqs/faqs.php?cat=albatross [QSA]
and various others but nothing seems to work, when I go to http://www.birdsandwhatnot.com/albatross/faqs.php I see the same file the same way it's always been. Does the presence of an .htaccess file in the subfolder conflict with the higher up .htaccess file?
Am I missing something?
