Hi Guys,
I'm sure this is gonna be something that's simple to achieve and I'm just not thinking straight but say I have a directory in my webroot directory called "dev"
When I go to www.domain.com/dev how can I get MODX to stop redirecting this URL. I get that it's doing it because there the resource doesn't exist within MODX but I need to make an exception.
Thanks

The problem is that the web server's rewrite rules are sending any files or directories it doesn't find to MODX.
In your .htaccess file have something like this:
# The Friendly URLs part
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/dev
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
So if it doesn't find a file (!-f), or if it doesn't find a directory (!-d), or if it isn't "domain.com/dev..." then send it to MODX.
Or you may be able to have an .htaccess file in the dev directory to turn off the rewrite engine altogether for that directory.

Thanks for the reply Susan,
I've tried that and it doesn't seem to be working for some reason. If I create a file named dev.html and request domain.com/dev.html that works but not for a directory.
Stumped.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
UPDATE: Sorry if I add any .html file at the root and request it they work. So it's just directories that I can't get working. I need rewrites enabled in the dev directory too.

Cant you just drop another .htaccess in the dev directory with rewrite rules associated to it specifically? Maybe i'm thinking of php.ini..

The dev directory does have it's own rewrite rules. But the MODX .htaccess is redirecting the request to that directory throwing a 404. So something in the MODX .htaccess is catching that URL segment. But I don't know what.
