Question

I am using a CMS called Vivvo, and vivvo comes with a .htaccess file from default with the following rules:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^sitemap\.xml$ index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)(\.html|\.htm)$ index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)(\.rss|\.atom|\.txt)$ index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/?$ index.php [L]

There’s a folder called book/ in my webroot that I need to be accessible from the outside. However whenever I type http://www.mydomain.com/book vivvo sends me to the customized 404 error page.

What rule can I use, in order to make the web server to ignore the “RewriteCond” and make users go to the right directory?

I tried this with no success:

 RewriteRule book/ book/index.php [L]

Answer 1

Try this:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} "/book/"
RewriteRule (.*) $1 [L]
# the rest of your rules...
