.htaccess redirect after replace a word?

Hello, I need to use .htaccess file to replace a world in URL

something like this:

example URL: http://example.com/oldword/test-page.html

redirect to: http://example.com/newword/test-page.html

how can I use mod_rewrite to redirect every URL containt "/oldword/" to the same URL after replacing that word?

From stackoverflow

• This should do it for you:

  RewriteRule ^oldword/(.*)   /newword/$1   [L]
  

  Edit: It might not work exactly depending on your RewriteBase settings, but it'll be close.

  Second Edit: If you need to have a 301 Moved Permanently header associated with the old URLs, you can do something like this as well:

  RewriteRule ^oldword/(.*)   /newword/$1   [R=301,L]
  

• Hi,

  see here:

  <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteBase /
  RewriteRule ^oldword(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/newword$1 [L]
  </IfModule>
  

  ciao,

  Gumbo : It’s better to leave the protocol, host and port part away like zombat did. Additionally your rule would also redirect `/oldword-and-some-more` to `/newword-and-some-more` and I don’t think that’s what chiaf wanted.
