I must side with Dario, i'd rather drop a near empty htacess file, than have my hair fall out as I take my entire site down because I mussed up a regex ;)

Hi,

I'm trying to 'ignore' a zenphoto directory that is in my wordpress installation. Tried your idea, but no success.

I currently have the following in my .htaccess file:

# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

# END WordPress

which gives me some nice names, but messes up my zenphoto gallery, spitting out raw html.

My root is a bit like this...
wp-content
wp-admin
wp-includes
zenphoto

It's ok for the htaccess to affect the first three, as they're WP, but I need to "ignore" zenphoto. How do I do this?

Thanks!, worked just the way I wanted with a single line except you have to specify DIR name in .htaccess,
but the following works without DIR name with 3 lines.
[code]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [L]
[/code]

I'm desperately trying to find a .htaccess for rewriting sub directory to subdomain. For instance,

http://www.domain.com/gardening/roses.html

to

http://roses-gardening.domain.com

Is it possible? I've got wildcard subdomains enabled, i'll check back.

It's for http://www.articlesdb.net

Thanks

Note that in addition to the RewriteCond solutions listed above, the %{REQUEST_FILENAME} variable is context sensitive.
In a stanza or a .htaccess file it'll work fine, but in %{REQUEST_FILENAME} = %{REQUEST_URI}.

WordPress gives this to use

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

And I can't access my script in cgi-bin because of it, and anything I have tried from here has not worked, and even made my blog break down in most cases.

Could you put the folder names in just one rule?

RewriteRule ^(folder_name|folder2|folder3)/.*$ - [PT]

Or would that introduce performance problems?

that pass through rewrite rule just saved me from another 30 minutes of trial and error testing.

I was doing something similar with the -d, but I didn't have a -f, that probably would have fixed it for me.

Oh well, this pass through option helped, becuase i think i am only going to have a handful of files that i want to passthrough and not the whole directory.
