mod_rewrite help with the regex

[flycast]

I have a mod rewrite that I need to do. What I want to do is redirect the entire site to the root index.php file. I have tried a few things that are totally screwed up. I believe that everything I try (like (.*) /index.php just throws the server into an infinite loop.

I need something like:

(redirect everything) unless its (index.php)

How would I pull this off?

Something like this should work. Add this to your VirtualHost.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteLogLevel 0
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} index.php$
RewriteRule !^/index.php [URL unfurl="true"]http://new.domain.com[/URL] [R,L]

Awesome! Thank for the help! I did have to change one thing, on the second line I added the ! to signal "not" index.php.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index.php$
RewriteRule !^/index.php /index.php

By the way, what does the [R,L] do?

Hi

By the way, what does the [R,L] do?

* '[tt]redirect|R[/tt] [=code]' (force redirect)
Prefix Substitution with [tt]

http://thishost

[:thisport]/[/tt] (which makes the new URL a URI) to force a external redirection. If no code is given, a HTTP response of 302 (MOVED TEMPORARILY) will be returned. If you want to use other response codes in the range 300-400, simply specify the appropriate number or use one of the following symbolic names: [tt]temp[/tt] (default), [tt]permanent[/tt], [tt]seeother[/tt]. Use this for rules to canonicalize the URL and return it to the client - to translate ``[tt]/~[/tt]'' into ``[tt]/u/[/tt]'', or to always append a slash to [tt]/u/[/tt]user, etc.
Note: When you use this flag, make sure that the substitution field is a valid URL! Otherwise, you will be redirecting to an invalid location. Remember that this flag on its own will only prepend

http://thishost

[:thisport]/ to the URL, and rewriting will continue. Usually, you will want to stop rewriting at this point, and redirect immediately. To stop rewriting, you should add the 'L' flag.

* '[tt]last|L[/tt]' (last rule)
Stop the rewriting process here and don't apply any more rewrite rules. This corresponds to the Perl [tt]last[/tt] command or the [tt]break[/tt] command in C. Use this flag to prevent the currently rewritten URL from being rewritten further by following rules. For example, use it to rewrite the root-path URL ('[tt]/[/tt]') to a real one, e.g., '[tt]/e/www/[/tt]'.

Would this be the correct way to exclude both index.php or missing.php?

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index.php$|!missing.php
RewriteRule !^/index.php|!^missing.php /index.php

I have tried that and it seems to work.

Hi

Execute both ? How ? In same time or one after the other ? Sorry, that does not make sense to me.
