.htaccess rewrite rule to ignore a directory
- by Kirk Strobeck
I am running a Symphony installation out of the directory symphony but I want to remove that word from the URL in specific cases.
When a user visits
http://domain.com/demo
It should go to
http://domain.com/symphony/demo
because I've added a specific rule for demo. If I haven't added a specific rule for demo in the .htaccess, then it should resolve to
http://domain.com/demo
as typed. This will route it to another part of our app.
Here is my current rewrite rule
### Symphony 2.3.x ###
Options +FollowSymlinks -Indexes
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
### SECURITY - Protect crucial files
RewriteRule ^manifest/(.*)$ - [F]
RewriteRule ^workspace/(pages|utilities)/(.*)\.xsl$ - [F]
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.sql$ - [F]
RewriteRule (^|/)\. - [F]
### DO NOT APPLY RULES WHEN REQUESTING "favicon.ico"
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} favicon.ico [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [S=14]
### IMAGE RULES
RewriteRule ^image\/(.+\.(jpg|gif|jpeg|png|bmp))$ extensions/jit_image_manipulation/lib/image.php?param=$1 [B,L,NC]
### CHECK FOR TRAILING SLASH - Will ignore files
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1/ [L,R=301]
### URL Correction
RewriteRule ^(symphony/)?index.php(/.*/?) $1$2 [NC]
### ADMIN REWRITE
RewriteRule ^symphony\/?$ index.php?mode=administration&%{QUERY_STRING} [NC,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^symphony(\/(.*\/?))?$ index.php?symphony-page=$1&mode=administration&%{QUERY_STRING} [NC,L]
### FRONTEND REWRITE - Will ignore files and folders
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*\/?)$ index.php?symphony-page=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
</IfModule>

How would I change the rewrite rule to support those cases?
