301 mod_rewrite

[mike2]

Here is a little problem that I am sure someone has got the answer to...if only it were me!

I have a website (myoldsite.com) and I want to redirect all files to my new site (mynewsite.com) using mod_rewrite in .htaccess i.e:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ [mynewsite.com...] [R=301,L]

However, these is one directory on my old site (myoldsite.com) that I want to be able to access without the redirect. This happens to be the cgibin which holds many perl scripts that I can't for various reasons move to the new site. (Some of the scripts have been bought and will only work within www.myoldsite.com)

Any ideas how this can be achieved?

If you add a condition in there, you should be able to exclude the cgi-bin directory, I believe something like this should work:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/cgi-bin
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mynewsite.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Cheers for that.

We will give it a try.
