exclude certain directories from .htaccess rewrite rules

[Sewdn]

Hi,

i want to exclude certain directories from the list of rewriterules that i wrote in my .htaccess file.
Since this is a condition that has to be tested before rewrites begin i write at the top of my .htaccess:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^galleryadmin.*

This way i hoped that any url starting with galleryadmin would not be rewrited, but it didn't work.

Could anyone help with this problem?

%{REQUEST_URI} contains everything after the domain name up to the query string, including the first /.

You want

Code: Select all

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/galleryadmin(/.*)?$
