I have done with this but not removing the last segment of the url, this is what .htaccess

RewriteRule ^event/path1/(.*) /event/path2/$1 [L,R=301]

Answer 1

You're using .* in your regex that matches everything after /event/path1/ thus resulting in wrong target URL.

You may use:

RewriteRule ^event/path1/([^/]+)/[^/]+/?$ /event/path2/$1? [L,R=301,NC]

Here [^/]+ will match 1 or more of any non-slash character.

? at the end of the target will strip off any previous query string.
