htaccess rewrite rule for different environments

On our staging server there are different versions of an PHP application. Each version in a different folder, so that the PM can approve feature by feature. The strucure looks like this: - docroot - origin - develop - origin - feature - feature_1

The URLs look like this: - http://dev.example.com/project/origin/develop - http://dev.example.com/project/origin/feature/feature_1/

Local development looks like this: http://project.local/

Now i want to rewrite URLs.

http://project.local/foo/example1/example2

should move to

http://project.local/bar/example1/example2

I tried the following:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} foo/(.*)
RewriteRule ^foo/(.*)?$ /bar/$1 [R=302,L]

which works as expected on local environment. On staging server it redirects from: http://dev.example.com/project/origin/develop/foo/example1/example2

to:

http://dev.example.com/bar/example1/example2

which doesn't work. Is there a way to handle this on local & staging environment?

Issue is that on staging server you are keeping this rule in a .htaccess inside /project/origin/develop instead of site root .htaccess.

You can use this generic rule that will work in both the places:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(.*/)?foo/(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1bar/%2 [R=301,L,NE]
