Find a basic htaccess tutorial online? This doesn't look complex at all... What have you attempted? — ɴᴀᴛᴇ ᴅᴇᴠ

Should be like:

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteRule ^mydir(.*)/(.*)/([a-z\-]{2,}([a-z\-][\d])[\d])(.*)$ $2/$3$1-$4 [R=301,L]

Thanks. I cannot use the word 'my-article' in rule, because, it will be different in all URLS. Please see the new changes in question.

Thanks for the reply, but it is not working, it is not adding '-1' in url before the number. i.e my-article-first-86974.html should change to my-article-first-1-86974.html, it is not happening.

I tried the latest rule which you have given, but it is not making any change in URL.

URL redirecting without 1? Like: my-article-first-86974.html?

Enable mod_rewrite and .htaccess through httpd.conf and then put this code in your .htaccess under DOCUMENT_ROOT directory:

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^mydir1/([^/]+)/(.+?)-(\d+\.html)$ /$1/$2-1-$3 [L,R=301,NC]

Ah I overlooked that -1 requirement, sorry editing it again.

You can use something along these lines:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/mydir2/(.*)+$ /mydir1/mydir2/$1

Try this in your htacces :

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
        RewriteEngine   On
        RewriteBase http://mysite.com 
        RewriteRule     ^/(.+)$ /mydir1/mydir2/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

Note : this code is not tested.

try this,

    # SEO URL Settings
    RewriteEngine On
    # If your installation does not run on the main web folder make sure you folder it does run in ie. / becomes /shop/ 

    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ index.php?route=feed/google_sitemap [L]
    RewriteRule ^googlebase.xml$ index.php?route=feed/google_base [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*\.(ico|gif|jpg|jpeg|png|js|css)
    RewriteRule ^([^?]*) index.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA]

you can see this RewriteRule ^([^?]*) index.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA]

NOTE:CODE NOT TESTED
