Rewrite everything if NOT a certain directory?

[kazisdaman3]

Thanks for helping me, I've been trying to figure this out, and my friend for 2 hours now and just having trouble.

I currently have:

---

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-d
RewriteRule .* /index.php [L]

---

How to do the same ReWriteRule, but only doing it when the 1st folder is NOT a directory, like "testfolder".

IE: example.com/testfolder, do not apply rewrite rule to that directory, or anything following that directory, BUT have it do the rewrite for everything else?

Any suggestions? Thanks so much!

Simply add another RewriteCond:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/testfolder

This condition requires that the requested URL-path NOT start with "/testfolder" in order for the rule to execute.

Flush your browser cache before testing any change to your .htaccess or server config files.
