Question

We have need for creative htaccess file:

when user enters file that exists – ok.

— i.e http://mydomain.com/install/program32.zip =
/install/program32.zip

when user enters the domain only – redirect download file

— i.e http://mydomain.com = /myfile.apk

when user enters a directory (folder) that doesn’t exist – redirect to specific PHP file.

— i.e http://mydomain.com/custom1 = /manager.php?param=custom1 or
/manager.php?custom1

We currently have 1 & 2 working. Now we are trying to add #3. Currently the htaccess is as follows:

RewriteEngine On    
RewriteRule ^$ /myfile.apk [L]

Answer 1

This should do the trick:

RewriteEngine On    
RewriteRule ^$ /myfile.apk [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)/?$ /manager.php?param=$1 [L]
