Mod Rewrite

[Twistedweb123]

Hi, so this is my issue.

 

I have written this is htaccess to redirect all my xxx.html to /xxx on my site.

 

However, I know this effects directories.

 

If i visit mydomain.com/admin/ i get a 404 error, but if i visit mydomain.com/admin/index.php it is fine.

 

This is fine, but I have an issue with my blog directory (it is running wordpress).

 

How do I write a mod rewrite query to not effect the blog directory, as mydomain.com/blog/index.php redirects to mydomain.com/blog/ ... this then looks for blog.php which doesnt exist.

 

I'm open to all suggestions.

 

Here is my current code:

 

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?$ $1.php [L]

[cags]

If you just want to skip that folder you can add a RewriteCond to ignore it, something like...

 

RewriteEngine on
RewrteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ! ^/blog
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?$ $1.php [L]

 

P.S. I can't remember off hand if that forward slash is required before blog or not, it basically says, only follow this RewriteRule if the requested address doesn't begin with blog.
