htaccess rule cannot override previous rule
MrN’s Question:
I have a bunch of htaccess rule setup on website.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^google73947f9bfca52abe.html$ google73947f9bfca52abe.html [L]
RewriteRule ^page/(.*)$ index.php?title=page&r=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^media/(.*)$ index.php?title=page&r=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^admin/$ admin/php [L]
RewriteRule ^index.html$ index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^crons/$ crons/ [L]
#I did this to forward request to directory
RewriteRule ^sites/$ sites/ [L]
#This is the rule creating problem
#RewriteRule ^sites/([^.]+)$ sites/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^.]+).html$ /index.php?title=$1
RewriteRule ^(.*).htm index.php?action=$1 [L]RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ /index.php?title=$1
I want to override every rule for those that start with site.com/sites to go the directory instead of going to index.php as it configured to do so.
Whenever I go to site.com/sites the sites takes me to site.com/site/?title=sites but I can still browse it as folder but Whenever I open a html file like lets say test.html it takes me directly to index.php on earlier directory as it is suppose to.
How to write rule which lets me browse a directly freely?
You have to configure to omit all the rules when the line sites is encountered.
Here is your solution:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(sites) - [L]
#Rest of your rules
