.htaccess Question

[Donniep]

Hi All,
OK so I have a been designing my sites with a .htaccess file that directs all of the incoming traffic to a dispatch file that then splits up the url and puts the page together. Well I am redoing a site that uses miva merchant and I need to allow the hits to the store to go directly through without going through the dispatch file. Here is the current rule. And I think what I am looking for is some help writing a rule to allow www.sitename.org/Merchant2/merchant.mvc through.

RewriteEngine on

RewriteBase /

RewriteRule !\.(php|htm|html|xml|gif|jpg|png|css|js|txt|swf|fla|as|pdf|rtf|ico|zip|xul|xml)$ /DISPATCH.php

Thanks for any help or suggestions,
Don

Well, I'm not sure about the entire rule, but I know for my rule using our MVC framework we don't pass image css or js files through that as they are targeting specific files that need to be accessed directly.

Donnie,

If you want to redirect (long list of file extensions) to DISPATCH.php, you've got it - except that RewriteBase often causes problems 'cause it's improperly used.

On the other hand, without seeing your mod_rewrite code, I'd be totally confused.

Regards,

DK
