Question

I have this .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^!/(.*)$ path/to/a/file/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ path/to/another/file/$1 [L]

I want urls in the form of www.website.com/!/this/ to be rewritten to path/to/a/file. Any URL that doesn’t match that pattern should be rewritten to path/to/another/file/.

Here’s what I’ve tried to far:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^!/(.*)$ path/to/a/file/$1 [L]
RewriteCond ...
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ path/to/another/file/$1 [L]

When using the above rewrite rule, I get a 500 – Internal Error.

How can I fix it?

Try this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/!
RewriteRule ^!/([a-z0-9_\-\.]+) user/public/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/!
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9_\-\.]+)/([a-z0-9_\-\.]+)/?$ $1/controller/front.php/$2 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/!
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9_\-]+)/([a-z0-9_\-]+)/([a-z0-9_\-]+)/?$ $1/controller/front.php/$2/$3 [L]
