for example, display  "www.mysite.com/doit" in stead of  "www.mysite.com/myfiles/doit.php". i have tried to add following lines in the www.mysite.com/, also tried to add the .htaccess file in "myfiles" folder, but they don't work.


RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule /doit  /myfiles/doit.php/$1 [L]

thanks

thank you for the reply, unfortunately, it won't work for me. after change the web root to my website www.10000miles.net, i tried many different changes to the .htaccess file, but when click the "Contact Us" menu on my web page, the full file path shows in the url. i did clear up catches.

Any idea?

This is difficult because this tactic may be seen as possibly tricky. Our guide on How to Redirect a Domain without Changing the URL may be a possible solution. If you are using a CMS such as WordPress, Drupal, or Joomla, you may be able to use a plugin or extension. Also, here is a possible solution I found via online search where they discuss possible options.
