Simple Apache Rewrite

Question

Folks,

This is easy, but I cannot seem to get this right, any help appreciated.

I if someone goes to a URL

http://test.api.com/somestuff I want it to redirect to 
http://test.api.com/en/api/somestuff

However my rewrite rule keeps resulting in a endless redirect - can someone spot the error?

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^(/en/api/).*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/en/api/$1 [R,L]

Answer 1

Try this (the slash in the RewriteRule regex is the main difference):

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/en/api/.*
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/en/api/$1 [R,L]
