Rewrite Rule but ignore the first directory part?

It took me 2 hours but I can't figure it out and I don't know how to google a solution.

This is my Rewrite-Rule in the .htaccess-file:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/blog(.*)
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://localhost:2368/$1 [P]

When I call example.com/blog, it should redirect me to my blog. The blog is a ghost-blog running in nodejs (port 2368).

This would work when I use no condition. So I can see the main site of my blog at example.com.

http://example.com/xy => http://localhost:2368/xy

But with the condition and the rule, it seems like this happens:

http://example.com/blog/xy => http://localhost:2368/blog/xy

But I don't want it to redirect to http://localhost:2368/blog/xy. It sould redirect to http://localhost:2368/xy.

How can I solve this problem?

The rule you're looking for is:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/blog/(.*)
RewriteRule ^blog/(.*) http://localhost:2368/$1 [P]

The $1 comes from the RewriteRule statement, not from RewriteCond. So $1 contained blog/xy instead of just xy

You can check the Rule working in here: .htaccess tester
