[SOLVED] restrict to non directory items

[ober]

So I have this rule:

 

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)$ index.php?req=$1 [L]

 

My main site is like index?req=whatever

 

What I realized this morning was that if I throw in:

 

site.com/directory_that_points_to_another_app

 

It puts tries to do the same thing.

 

How do I have it ignore the rule if it actually points to a directory?

Nevermind, I found this:

 

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [NC,OR]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [NC]

RewriteRule .* - [L]

 

Place that at the top of your .htaccess file and it works perfectly.

 

I think I'm going to blog about this.
