mod_rewrite exception for a specific file

Question

My page is not redirecting as it should due to my .htaccess file which is set as:

RewriteEngine on  
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\\.php|resources|robots\\.txt)  
Rewr         


        

Answer 1

Try with this:

RewriteEngine on  
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|forum|resources|robots\.txt)  
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f  
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d  
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]   

And this:

# BEGIN PunBB

# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Start rewrite engine
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------


    # MultiViews interfers with proper rewriting
    Options -MultiViews

    RewriteEngine On

    # Uncomment and properly set the RewriteBase if the rewrite rules are not working properly
    RewriteBase /forum/

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

    # Because X-UA-Compatible isn't sent to non-IE (to save header bytes),
    # We need to inform proxies that content changes based on UA
    Header append Vary User-Agent
    # Cache control is set only if mod_headers is enabled, so that's unncessary to declare
