Code Igniter blocking access to /cgi-bin

[quote author="yello" date="1205314023"]I appreciate your fast anwser but it does not seem to work.

Code:

Code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(dir1) [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

That code works... when I try to access domain/dir1 it bypass the rewrite rule... but <b>as soon as I change it to cgi-bin</b> it does not work:

Code:

Code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(cgi-bin) [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

I really don't know why it is not working since the only thing I changed is the dir name! Help![/quote] Why are you putting it in parenthesis? I don't think I've seen that before. Have you tried /cgi-bin instead of (cgi-bin)?
