.htaccess rule

[developerdave]

Hey guys,

 

I have a .htaccess that rewrites all urls to index.php for my cms but I'd like to add some exceptions like Sitemap.php and sitemap.xml

 

I've pasted my current .htaccess below any help is greatly appreciated.

 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/?Sitemap.php
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

The first two RewriteConds means that the URL will only be rewritten if the file/directory requested doesn't exist. I assume you only wish to add them as exceptions because they are actually files, but they should already be exceptions.

Ahhh lol I'm no expert with .htaccess rules but that seemed to work thank you very much sir

Hey guys sorry to unsolve this but I'd rather post it here than start a whole new topic.

 

I'm trying to get sitemap.xml to mod_rewrite to sitemap.xml.php with the below rule

 

RewriteRule ^sitemap\.(xml(\.gz)?)$ /sitemap.xml.php [L]

 

So I add it and I keep getting a 500 Server Error.

 

Below is the whole .htaccess file, anyone have any idea's? I have a basic grasp on the .htaccess malarky now but this is beyond me lol

 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^sitemap\.(xml(\.gz)?)$ /sitemap.xml.php [L]
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

RewriteConds only apply to the RewriteRule that follows them directly so placing your new rule where you have will cause issues with your redirects. The new rule should instead be before the RewriteConds (if you place it at the end of the file, the script will be redirected with the first rule, which you don't want, catch all redirects should always be at the bottom of a .htaccess). Try this instead...

 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^sitemap\.xml(\.gz)?$ sitemap.xml.php [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
