hello

i have the following rewrite working fine

Code: Select all: RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?mystring\.com$ [NC] RewriteRule .? http://mystring.wordpress.com [R=301,L]

EXCEPT when the request is for one of the paths below

Code: Select all: http://www.mystring.com/forum http://www.mystring.com/forum/ http://mystring.com/forum http://mystring.com/forum/

presumably because the folder "forum" exists in the apache wwwroot.

how would i make it always redirect (even if i have to manually code "forum" in a condition) ?

thanks in advance.

could it be that i actually found something mod_rewrite can't do?!

thanks in advance

I'd say something like this:

Code: Select all: RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?mystring\.com$ [NC] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/forum/.* [NC] RewriteRule .? http://mystring.wordpress.com [R=301,L]

PS: htaccess defaults to an AND statement when you use multiple conditions.

hmmm thanks but that didnt work.

i actually have a lot of domains on that server. it would be nice to keep the /forum/ directory inaccessible via every domain BUT the main/public_http root domain, as this folder is meant to be a showing up only via the main domain.

thanks in advance

thanks but it still doesnt work... http://mystring.com/forum/ still brings up the forum instead of the 301 to wordpress.
