.htaccess file modification

Question

I have a .htaccess file that organizes all requests through index.php. Now I would like to make an exception for rss.php. go straight through rss.php. How to do it?

Here's what it looks like now:

RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / RewriteRule !\.(js|ico|txt|gif|jpg|png|css)$ index.php 

Thanks.

Answer 1

Put this before the last line.

 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/rss\.php$ 

Answer 2

You can exclude any existing file with an additional RewriteCond :

 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^ index.php [L] 

Answer 3

Or, conversely, rewrite that matches the file, then skips the rest of the rewrite tests.

By placing the following line before your existing RewriteRule is redirected without going through index.php.

 RewriteRule ^/rss.php /rss.php [L] 

I came across this page while searching for a way to do this using my /robots.txt file.
