Rewrite with an exclusion

[figment88]

I'm rewriting all non-www URL's to www ones with

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^DOMAIN\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.DOMAIN.com/$1 [R=301,L]

This messes up the Awstats on my shared host because it can nolonger find the config file. It seems to construct the filename from the request URI.

So, how do I exclude just
[DOMAIN.com...]

from the rewrite.

This seems like it should be easy and have multiple solutions, but I can't get it to work.

Hi,

Try something like:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^DOMAIN\.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !cgi-bin/awstats\.pl
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.DOMAIN.com/$1 [R=301,L]
