htaccess and accessing folders - El Forum - 08-15-2009

Hi Guys

I have enabled mod rewrite and added the following code to my htaccess file:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

The problem is I have a public folder in the root dir which has all the CSS,images etc - I cannot access it. Does anyone know how I can fix this ?

You need to either add the name of the directory to the rewrite condition, so it becomes

Code:
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt|public)

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

or change it so anything which doesn;t match a file goes through index.php

Code:
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
