Question

I have my .htaccess redirecting when someone types /5 or something, but how do I make it not redirect if they just type domain?

So southeast.tv/5/e will redirect,
but southeast.tv will simply stay as southeast.tv

Here is my code now:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/?([^/]*)/?$ http://southeast.tv/index.php?v=$1&t=$2

Answer 1

Add a RewriteCond to negate requests to / only with ^[/]?$:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

# Only rewrite if the request is not for `/` The ? probably isn't needed
Rewritecond %{REQUEST_URI} !^[/]?$
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/?([^/]*)/?$ http://southeast.tv/index.php?v=$1&t=$2 [L,R=301]
