vertigoalopolus Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 im working on a project site that has its document root set to ~/sitename/www/, which holds all publicly accessible files (images, css, templates), and an .htaccess file with a mod_rewrite rule that points literally everything that isnt a valid and publicly accessible file to redirect.php, in the parent directory ~/sitename/. however, when i try to load up the sites domain, it returns a 400 bad request error code. i tried copying redirect.php to ~/sitename/www/, and modifying the .htaccess accordingly, and it accesses it fine in there. but i dont want that file (or its siblings - including subdirectories holding controllers) directly accessible by the public! is there a way i could have those files in the parent directory accessible by the web server, but still not publicly accessible? this is for an ongoing MCV style site framework that ive been working on for some time for the sites i build, so a solution would be appreciated!

RussellReal Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 well, I'd suggest sending it to error.php?errlala andthen if errlala is set then include redirect.php sincephp will have access to /sitename/ Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/147857-mod_rewrite-looking-outside-document-root/#findComment-776028 Share on other sites More sharing options...
