Dispatcher rule or another solution

[DanielMa63]

Greetings,

Our client has asked us to shorten a url, the request is as follows, the full path to the url would be 
www.example.com/check-in-external-root/check-in-external

content/tib/de/check-in-external-root/check-in-external

Now, we have tried a few things,

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)example.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/etc
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/content/dam
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/libs
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(.*).jpeg
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(.*).json
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(.*).png
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(.*).html
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(.*).pdf
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(.*).mp4
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(.*).xml
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/en/(.*)
RewriteRule ^/check-in-external$ /content/tib/de/check-in-external-root/check-in-external [PT,L]
or
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)example.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/etc
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/content/dam
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/libs
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(.*).jpeg
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(.*).json
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(.*).png
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(.*).html
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(.*).pdf
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(.*).mp4
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(.*).xml
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/en/(.*)
RewriteRule ^/check-in-external$ /content/tib/de/check-in-external-root/check-in-external.html [PT,L]
also 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)example.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/etc
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/content/dam
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/libs
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(.*).jpeg
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(.*).json
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(.*).png
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(.*).html
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(.*).pdf
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(.*).mp4
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(.*).xml
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/en/(.*)
RewriteRule ^/check-in-external/?$ /content/tib/de/check-in-external-root/check-in-external.html [PT,L]

or simply
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)example.com$
RewriteRule ^/check-in-external$ /content/tib/de/check-in-external-root/check-in-external.html [PT,L]

We sadly need the root page, so removing it is not an option
None of them have worked so far, is there a way through dispatcher or etc/maps to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance!

Best Regards,
Daniel

Correction
the shorter one was tested like this

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)example.com$
RewriteRule ^/check-in-external/?$ /content/tib/de/check-in-external-root/check-in-external.html [PT,L]

@DanielMa63 
This rule looks fine

Can you check if there are any other conflicting rules placed above these rules in dispatcher

[DanielMa63]

Greetings,

Will search more thoroughly, i have not been able to see and there should not be any conflicting rules, check-in-external-root is a completely new page.

Best Regards,
Daniel

Hi @DanielMa63 ,
You may try below generic rule

RewriteRule ^/check-in-external/(.+)$ /content/tib/de/check-in-external/$1.html [PT,L,QSA]

Thanks

Greetings,

This suggestion did not work, anything else we could try?

Best Regards,

Daniel

Hello, 

In vhost file using substitute trim path which don’t want to expose to the public and In rewrites file use conditional at then of the file with the same substitute path .

Hope it would be helpful. Let me know if you need any syntax .
