i am moving to a different hosting. the hosting has a temporary URL like /~username/. All my database links to images are from the root folder. Is there a way in htaccess to tell the browser to read all paths like /images/image.gif to /~username/images/image.gif?

I tried this, but it didn't work.

RewriteRule ^/images/([^/]*\.(gif|png|jpg))$ /~username/images/$1

I also tried

RewriteBase /~username

Didn't get an answer. Was wondering if someone can help me out with this?

The first thing to try is removing the slash from the beginning of the new path:

RewriteRule ^/images/([^/]*\.(gif|png|jpg))$ ~username/images/$1

If that doesn't work, you may need to find the complete file system path for that directory.
