title: Simple Apache Rewrite Rule Giving Unwanted 404
body: <p>I have the following rewrite rule:<code>RewriteRule ^/uk/(.*)$ http://www.hostname.uk/$1 [R,L]</code></p>
  
  <p>which rewrites the url from:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><code>http://www.hostname.uk/uk/home</code>
  to</li>
  <li><code>http://www.hostname.uk/home</code></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>However instead of seeing the content at <code>http://www.hostname.uk/uk/home</code> with the shorter address you get a blank 404 page instead. Why is this? How do I fix this?</p>
