I have this RewriteRule that works too well 🙂

RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/$ /script.html?id=$1 [L] 

The bad thing about this rule is that it also matches physical directories which I don’t want.

How can I tell the mod_rewrite to ignore physical directories and apply the above rule only when the directory matched does not exist?

    Take a look at RewriteCond. Put the following before your rule to exempt out directories and files

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
