Answer 1

You need to make an exclusion in your .htaccess file. Just above the rule that sends everything to index.php, add this:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/forums

Anything that begins with /forums will not be sent to Laravel.

(Of course, this is assuming you are using Apache.)

Answer 2

I had to add this line in public/.htaccess

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/foldername

before this line (that redirects trailing slashes)

RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]

Answer 3

I'm using nginx, it's work for me:

location /your_folder {     
    try_files $uri $uri/ /your_folder/index.php?$args;
}

Answer 4

With Laravel 4 none of these solutions were working for me. I eventually solved it by placing

RewriteRule ^(directory-name) - [L]

before

RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]

in public/.htaccess

Answer 5

According to your routes.php file it is supposed to work.

1. You are not catching forum URL at all
2. If 'forum' directory/file exists, URL is not rewritten to Laravel's index.php

routes.php (I used this one in the test case)

Route::get('{slug}', function($slug){
    return $slug;
});

File structure

|- app
|- public
|--- index.php // Laravel's one
|--- forum // directory for forum files
|------ index.php // Forum's one
....

Using this structure, URL is not rewritten to Laravel's routing index.php file. If I rename/remove forum folder URL is rewritten then.

Does it work for you?
