.htaccess redirect to URL when match on certain file

Under my root web directory, I have this two files:

aboutus.php

about-us.php

Now going to this URL http://local.com/about-us.php will render the file about-us.php. If I will do the inverse, how can I dictate the .htaccess that whenever the URL above is access, the aboutus.php will be rendered?

If you have access to the whole server config, the most efficient way to do this is to use mod_alias. Unfortunately this needs to be done in VirtualHost config - which is only accessible if you got root access to that server.

Alias /about-us.php /full/local/path/to/aboutus.php


If you cannot edit the VirtualHost config, use mod_rewrite (needs more server resources though, as every request has to be matched to those rules):

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^about-us.php aboutus.php [L]

Should do the trick.
