don't redirect existing files

[Lumio]

Hello!

I hope someone remembers my post in PHP Help.

I tried to redirect a file to index.php.

Now I thought when I do this it works:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php

But it redirects every file to my index.php. It doesn't matter if the file exists or not.

that's a problem!

I don't want to redirect every existing file. It takes too much resources when index.php takes every file.

Have a look at RewriteCond's -f.

thanks!

I made it like that:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [f]

But now I get an 403-Error. Why?

You're using RewriteRule. My link was to RewriteCond.

[Lumio]

I know. But the examples gives me also RewriteRule.

Can you give me an example with RewriteCond?

thanks

See if these examples help.

now it doesn't redirect files that doesn't exist

I mean... I got a directory like that:

/
|---- index.php
|---- test.html
|--- web/
     |--- lumio/
          |---- index.html
          |---- img.jpg

So if I try to get www.myexample.com/index.html the realpath is www.myexample.com/index.php?file=/web/lumio/index.html

But if I try to get www.myexample.com/test.html it is /test.html and not /web/lumio/test.html

Also not if it exists.
