Subfolders and mod-rewrite

Question

I need to alter this current re-write rule to accommodate for an admin folder. Here is my current mod-rewrite code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}          


        

Answer 1

Add this to your root .htaccess:

RewriteCond ^admin/
RewriteRule (whatever rule you need for the admin folder) [L]

Add this right after the RewriteEngine On. The key point here is [L] which tells mod-rewrite to stop executing the rest of the rules if this one matches. If you need more than one rule for the admin folder, just add more RewriteRule statements, but remember to only add the [L] to the last one.

That should do it.
