Redirect traffic except two files

[soycharliente]

I'm trying to redirect all traffic to a domain to another domain except two files.

 

I tried the following and the files are forwarding:

RewriteEngine On
Options +FollowSymlinks
Options All -Indexes

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

RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^exception1\.php$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^exception2\.php$
RewriteRule ^.+$ http://otherdomain.com [L,R=301]

 

EDIT: Sorry. For two files. I have no idea why I said one.

 

I don't really know much about mod_rewrite so any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

What URL are you testing it with? What's the outcome? Are all files being forwarded including the ones you wish to be exceptions?

I'm testing with:

 

www.domain.tld

domain.tld

domain.tld/exception1.php

domain.tld/exception2.php

www.domain.tld/exception1.php

www.domain.tld/exception2.php

 

Everything redirects to otherdomain.tld

Try...

RewriteEngine On
Options +FollowSymlinks
Options All -Indexes

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

RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/exception1\.php$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/exception2\.php$
RewriteRule ^.+$ http://otherdomain.com [L,R=301]

Adding the slash before the file yields the same result. Still forwards on.

Hm.. what happens without the first redirect, I tested that second part locally and it seems to work fine. Try redirecting to a page on your server that echo's out $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], that way you should get an idea why it's not matching.

[soycharliente]

Still forwards.

 

Here's my entire htaccess file after the changes:

RewriteEngine On
Options +FollowSymlinks
Options All -Indexes

RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/contact\.php$
RewriteRule ^.+$ http://charlieholder.com [L,R=301]

[soycharliente]

Tested the second half as well. Changed the redirect a different file on the server. It only shows a / and nothing else.

<?php echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; ?>

It's working as expected now.

 

I don't see why it took time. I cleared my cache and cookies and now it's working as expected. I don't know if that's something that would make it work, I would think it checks the server every time, but I don't know.

 

Thanks.

Excellent, glad it's working. I must admit I've had strange caching issues with .htaccess before, I'm not entirely sure what causes them.
