I tried to rewrite a simple RewriteRule but i guess it doesn't turn up good. I created a htaccess file in wordpress wp-admin folder and i tried to rename the wp-admin directory name in my localhost.Here is the code i tried
RewriteEngine On # Turn on the rewriting engine
RewriteRule ^wp-admin$ hello
Just for testing i had done this in my localhost. I want to start from simple pattern not complex pattern so i tried other simple pattern wp-admin
and replacement as hello
RewriteEngine On # Turn on the rewriting engine
RewriteRule wp-admin hello
When i go to http://localhost/my_site/hello
i can't able to direct to wp-admin for this am getting 404 error. When i try http://localhost/my_site/wp-admin
am getting internal server error.
I think the rewrite rule is not good in my try. I have one more doubt should place the .htaccess
file in the wp-admin directory or in the my site root directory in my_site or should i place in every directory which am trying to change the folder name on the fly.
What wrong am i doing here.Any help please?
