This should be simple :RewriteCond

Hi,

I've been trying to set up a rewrite rule, that I can load in while I upgrade the site behind. I've been trying to get this to work:

RewriteEngine on
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*(/maintenance_files/¦\.js¦\.css¦\.png¦\.jpg).*$ [NC,OR]
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/maintenance\.html$
 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /maintenance.html [L]

Basically I was all requests to show the maintenance.html file, except for any css, images that come fom the /maintenance_file dir (which are used to style the maintenance.html

The opening parenthese appears to have been mis-located and the use of [OR] in the case of two negative match patterns is incorrect. Fixing that and some other minor redundancy and anchoring problems yields:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/maintenance_files/.+\.(js¦css¦png¦jpg)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/maintenance\.html$
RewriteRule ^ /maintenance.html [L] 

Replace the broken pipe "¦" characters with solid pipes before use; Posting on this forum modifies the pipe characters.

Hi Jim,

thanks for your help on this is much appreciated.

I have tried this but it still does not work. The css and images are returning 404. Not sure how to proceed from here.

Ah I figured it out. I still had some proxy path routing to a tomcat instance. My bad.
thx
