.htaccess redirect main domain but not sub subfolder
.htaccess, redirect, vps
Solution
Just put `RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/media/videos` above your RewriteRule. It checks wether the URL starts with `/media/videos` and if it does so, the RewriteRule will not be met.
Problem
I was wondering how to exclude a subfolder from .htaccess redirect. I have an .htaccess file in the root of my old domain and I have the following in it: ``` Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine on RewriteRule (.*) http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L] ``` This of course redirects any traffic from the old domain to the new one. But I want to exclude a directory from this rule. Meaning www.olddomain.com/media/videos should not redirect to www.newdomain.com/media/videos The reason I want the exclusion is because I'm hosting static files such as videos on a shared web server (old domain) and I'm keeping everything else the site needs on the new VPS server (new domain).
