Redirect links to correct directory

We have on our site hundreds of links that point to:

/about/about/filename.html

But we need them to go to:

/about/filename.html

Is there a way to point them to the correct directory?

We are running on a Linux server and the site is build with Joomla Version 1.5.10 and there is ARTIO JoomSEF 3.8.2 running on it.

Thanks

Assuming you're using the Apache webserver, you can use mod_rewrite, specifically the RewriteRule directive:

RewriteRule /about/about/(.+)$ /about/$1 [R=301]

Place this rule in your httpd.conf file in the <VirtualHost> context for the site in question, or in a .htaccess file in the site's DocumentRoot.

This rule will create a 301 Permanent redirect for requests to any path under /about/about/ to the same path under /about/. e.g., /about/about/filename.html will redirect to /about/filename.html
