Are your directories constants? Or are they some kind variable?

To force such an external redirect, you could use in your httpd.conf

RewriteRule ^/directoryone/directorytwo/(mypage\.php)$ /$1 [R=301,L]

Yeah, the directories I want to remove will be the same.  but the pages will be different (I'm hoping I don't have to do one for each individual page)

I tried:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/directoryone/directory/two/(.*)$ /$1 [QSA,R=301]

But that's throwing a 500 error
