Question

I am struggling to achieve this simple thing…

I have some static pages which should be like
http://www.domain.com/profile etc..
The problem is how to write the rewrite rules in order to ..

There would be some fixed rewrites
like /home

I want every file that exists not to be rewritten
http://www.domain.com/test.php should go to
test.php

Lastly if it is not found i want it to be redirected to static.php?_…..

RewriteRule ^/home/?$ /index.php?__i18n_language=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/([^/]+)/?$ /static.php?__i18n_language=$1  

This works ok but if i type index.php or test.php or even the mach from other redirection it gets me in static.php…
Please help!

According to your description you can use these rules:

# stop rewriting process if request can be mapped onto existing file
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteRule ^ - [L]

# rewrite known paths /home, /foo, /bar, etc.
RewriteRule ^/(home|foo|bar|…)$ /index.php [L]

# rewrite any other path
RewriteRule ^ /static.php [L]
