Question

I’m new to htaccess usage…

need help on the below

Form http://mysite.com/index.php?page=login to http://mysite.com/login

i used the following rule in htaccess

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/$ index.php?page=$1

in the same, i have to restrict access to mysite.com/admin folder

meanwhile if i enter

 `http://mysite.com/admin` then it goes to `http://mysite.com/admin?page=admin`

i think this is bcoz of the above rule.

What i need is, if i enter mysite.com/admin that should go for mysite.com/admin/index.php

Answer 1

Add a condition for rewrite rule:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^admin
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?page=$1 [L,NC]
