.htaccess and existing folders - harrisc - 2015-11-07
Hi
I have installed GS in my root directory and using Fancy URLS. GS works as expected. I have a problem with existing folders and add-on domains. I have existing directories outside of GS that I want to access directly.
The .htaccess file rewrites all directory URL, existing or not.
How can I rewrite .htaccess to test if directory exists; if so do not rewrite.. If directory does not exist, rewrite as existing file.
Any suggestions?
Chris

Does your .htaccess file (in the root of your GS site) have these lines before the RewriteRule?
Code:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-dRE: .htaccess and existing folders - shawn_a - 2015-11-08

My .htaccess file does have RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d and in it and it does not work.
I looked at https://github.com/GetSimpleCMS/GetSimpleCMS/issues/940 and tried vaies options but still could not get it to work.
I am on shared hosting with Apache Version 2.4.16.
Any further suggestions?
Thanks

RE: .htaccess and existing folders - shawn_a - 2015-11-12
did you try
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
in place of the included rules
only other option is to enable logging and see whats going on with your paths
