How to remove trailing slashes in URLs using .htaccess (Apache)?

[esiow2013]

I want my URLs to look like these:

http://www.domain.com/buy

http://www.domain.com/buy/shoes

http://www.domain.com/buy/shoes/red

Thanks in advance!

Hi, here you go.....

RewriteRule ^(.)/(?.)?$ $1$2 [R=301,L]

Please note that the thing which looks like a capital V in the above rule is actually the backward slash and forward slash together.

Thanks Devanur! Big help. By the way, I'm still looking for an opinion about this and I'm sure you can help me with this issue:http://moz.com/community/q/how-can-i-301-redirect-a-series-of-pages-ex-page-1-page-2-page-3-to-one-landing-page-new-url

And what is the difference of this to the one you've answered?

RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ $1 [R,L]

I am sorry my friend. Somehow I missed your response.

It should have been: RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [R,L]

So, you missed the /

And it is also used to remove the trailing slash from URLs just like the one that I gave you earlier.

Best,
