This not working.Is im doing anything wrong? please help me on this thanks in advance
Rewrite rules only take the path part of the URL (URI) into consideration (an excellent article on mod_rewrite). The rest is ignored.
However, if your redirection needs to be permanent its much better to avoid mod_rewrite and simply use Redirect.
Redirect /vroomrelocation/new/vroomvroom/rss.php /vroomrelocation/new/vroomvroom/yash/rss.php
Redirect /yash/rss.php /rss.php however do take note that this is the opposite situation from the one you specified in the question. I mean here is /yash/rss.php redirected to rss.php but in your question you asked how to redirect /rss.php to /yash/rss.php. Whatever redirection you want the URL on the left in the Redirect directive is the URL you want to redirect and the one on the right is the URL to which you want to redirect the first URL.
rss.php from /yash/rss.php. can i use http:// in front of them ?/) since its always considered to be part of the site itself. The second URL can contain http:// but there is no need to here because its also on the same web site (domain). You would only need to use it if you were to use external redirection.I'm no expert in htaccess myself, but this should work:
# Redirect old file path to new file path
Redirect rss.php http://192.168.1.185/vroomrelocation/new/vroomvroom/yash/rss.php
And put it in the rss.php directory, not the base directory.
If you want to put the .htaccess file inside the root of your website, you should write:
Redirect /vroomrelocation/new/vroomvroom/rss.php /vroomrelocation/new/vroomvroom/yash/rss.php
I recommend to put the file inside /vroomrelocation/new/vroomvroom/ and write:
Redirect rss.php yash/rss.php
