Django htaccess issue

[dolcevita]

I have just received some customer website where i need to place some .php files under directory solutions that are accessible via website.

whatever.com/solutions/anyfile.php

But there is django installed and .htaccess make impossible to allow files from directory solution to be accessable via site.

here are rules that i have found within site:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^media/ - [L]
RewriteRule ^g2data/ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/django.cgi.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /django.cgi/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^$ /django.cgi
#
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php

Can someone help me and post here solution that will make possible that directory solutions can be reached via website.

i.e.

http://whatever.com/solutions/anyfile.php

Right now by each request to directory that exist i receive 404 error because of .htaccess rules

You're seeing this error because you have DEBUG = True in your Django settings file. Change that to False, and Django will display a standard 404 page. 

Thanks

A negative match preceding

RewriteCond

checking that

REQUEST_URI

does not begin with

^/solutions

will probably do the trick.

Be aware that a RewriteCond will apply to only the single RewriteRule that follows it.

That can be "compressed" a bit as well:

RewriteEngine on
#
# Rewrite all requests to /django.cgi, with the originally-requested URL-path appended as path-info,
# excluding the specified directories (Note that the second RewriteCond prevents an infinite loop)
RewriteCond $1 !^django\.cgi
RewriteCond $1 !^(media|g2data|solutions)/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /django.cgi/$1 [L]

I removed your last rule, because it could never be executed -- The rule before it would always match and take precedence.
