Redirecting with Apache?

Question

Apache HTTP Server

In general, such a thing, there are pages on the site where pictures are connected in the following path /images/file_name.extension.
The problem is that I moved this folder to public and now I need to make a redirect using apache when accessing the /images/ folder to /public/images/filename .

Answer 1

# 301 --- www.test.com/images => www.test.com/public/images
RewriteRule ^images/$ /public/images/? [L,R=301]
isn't it? in .htaccess

Answer 2

# Вариант 1, без переадресации 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^.?images/(.+)$ public/images/$1

# Вариант 2, с переадресацией
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^.?images/(.+)$ /public/images/$1 [R,L]

1. A request for a non-existent /images/1.jpg file will return the contents of /public/images/1.jpg;
2. A request for a non-existent /images/1.jpg file will receive a response that it should be searched for at /public/images/1.jpg, that is, a redirect will be performed (2 requests to the server in total).
