.htaccess redirecting all URLs except one

Question

I have a server running with the following directory structure: ``` /public_html | - /fingertools | - /css | - /static | - /media | - /js | - .htaccess ``` My .htaccess is in the root of the "public_html" folder, and the main files of the website are in the "fingertools" folder, which is a Django project. I want to rewrite through the .htaccess all requests to http://mydomain.com/ to the "fingertools" folder, except any file inside http://mydomain.com/static/ should be redirected to the "static" folder. I'm not able to do this, I need it to put all the CSS and JavaScript into this folder for the website to work. I have this so far: ``` Options +FollowSymlinks RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(fingertools) RewriteRule ^(.*)$ fingertools/$1 [L] ``` Which redirects me to my Django project, giving me a 404 error for not having the /static/ URL mapped in the urls.py file. Any ideas? Thank you very much
