.htaccess question

    Hi Quick question.

    I have the following redirect rule

    RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain\.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.mydomain\.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://mysubdomain.mydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]


    Which is redirecting uses to the main domain to a subdomain, but I don’t want this rule to be applied if they visit any other directory. For example www.mydomain.com/manager

    Any suggestion on how to do this.

    Thanks

    Ben

      You will notice that there is a ht.access file in the manager, just rename it to .htaccess. If not, create a new .htaccess in manager and put this in it:
      RewriteEngine Off

        Perfect, thanks Zi!!

        Out of interest, do you know if there is a way to limit the redirect via the root .htaccess file. As say you have a large number of directories. Or would you have to create a .htaccess file for each one?

        Thanks

          This might help:

          # Exclude /assets and /manager directories and images from rewrite rules
RewriteRule ^(manager|assets)/*$ - [L]


          For more details, plz check on mod_rewrite docs. smiley
