HTACCESS HELP!!! PLEASE ...

[eluser]Gewa[/eluser]
Hi . I am finishing a guide website for austria.. Austria 4 Fun So I need to upload XML files of sitemap. There should be more than 400.000links . So there is more than 25XML files wih links. I need to allow ALL XML and XML.GZ files to be accessble from htaccess.


how to make it without writing each name in the line like it is now . Here Htaccess which I wanted to use. but it gives Server 500Error.. Maybe too big????

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|tinymce|config|forum|uploads|js|img|css|tmp|public|user_guide|robots\.txt|sitemap\.xml|sitemap\.xml.gz
|sitemap_firms1\.xml|sitemap_firms1.xml\.gz|sitemap_firms2\.xml|sitemap_firms2.xml\.gz|sitemap_firms3\.xml|sitemap_firms3.xml\.gz|sitemap_firms4\.xml|sitemap_firms4.xml\.gz|sitemap_firms5\.xml|sitemap_firms5.xml\.gz|sitemap_firms6\.xml|sitemap_firms6.xml\.gz|sitemap_firms7\.xml|sitemap_firms7.xml\.gz|sitemap_firms8\.xml|sitemap_firms8.xml\.gz|sitemap_firms9\.xml|sitemap_firms9.xml\.gz|sitemap_firms10\.xml|sitemap_firms10.xml\.gz|sitemap_firms11\.xml|sitemap_firms11.xml\.gz|sitemap_firms12\.xml|sitemap_firms12.xml\.gz|sitemap_firms13\.xml|sitemap_firms13.xml\.gz|sitemap_firms14\.xml|sitemap_firms14.xml\.gz|sitemap_firms15\.xml|sitemap_firms15.xml\.gz|sitemap_firms16\.xml|sitemap_firms16.xml\.gz|sitemap_firms17\.xml|sitemap_firms17.xml\.gz
|sitemap_firms18\.xml|sitemap_firms18.xml\.gz|sitemap_firms19\.xml|sitemap_firms19.xml\.gz|sitemap_firms20\.xml|sitemap_firms20.xml\.gz|sitemap_firms21\.xml|sitemap_firms21.xml\.gz)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

If I understand you correctly you don't want index.php to process any of the xml or xml.gz files. If that is the case you might try something like this:

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|tinymce|config|forum|uploads|js|img|css|tmp|public|user_guide|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

This is adding in 2 conditions saying "If the file requested IS NOT actually a file then process index.php"

So if you have .xml files (or .xml.gz files) on your server the .htaccess file shouldn't be routing it to index.php.

This should serve any sitemap.xml or gz:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|tinymce|config|forum|uploads|js|img|css|tmp|public|user_guide|robots\.txt|sitemap\.)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

will this serve also files like sitemap_firms1.xml, sitemap_firms2.xml... or?

[eluser]gon[/eluser]
Nope.

You can try:

RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|tinymce|config|forum|uploads|js|img|css|tmp|public|user_guide|robots\.txt|sitemap)

To serve any file or dir starting with sitemap
