Question

I have a symfony 2 website which requires all urls to be re-written to the document index.

Additionally, there are a number of completely independent “micro sites” which just run out of their own sub-folders in the web directory. I need to add re-write exceptions for any urls that point to the microsite sub folders

This is my .htaccess file:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(microsite1|microsite2|microsite3)(.*)$
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %{document_index} [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

This works for everything except .php files within the microsite folders, i.e:

• http://www.domain.com/microsite1/index.html —works (displays index.html)
• http://www.domain.com/microsite2/ —works (displays index.php)
• http://www.domain.com/microsite2/contact.php — doesn’t work (displays symfony route not found error)

aditionally:

• http://www.domain.com/microsite2/images/ —successfully displays directory listing
• http://www.domain.com/microsite2/images/image.jpg — successfully displays image

You might need to change your apache config to something like this:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName server-name
    DocumentRoot /var/www/path/to/document/root
    <Location />
            RewriteEngine on
            RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
            RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
            RewriteRule !\.(js|ico|gif|jpg|png|css)$ /index.php
    </Location>
</VirtualHost>

Paying close attention to the last RewriteRule…
