Apply rewrite rule if url not contains certain path

Question

i've written this rewrite rule for my AngularJs application that use html5 routing.

The rewrite url is this:

 RewriteEngine On
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*\.(jpg|css|js|gif|png|html|woff)$
 RewriteRule ^ index.html  [L]

I want that all the URL that contains path /old/ and with path /images/ aren't rewritten!

Someone can help me i tried to add rewrite condition like this :

 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/old/

But it doesn't work!

Regards, Lorenzo

UPDATE

If you're using AngularJS with routing use target="_self" on <a> element that has link in the same domain but aren't under the angular routing!

Answer 1

Your third RewriteCond is useless since you're already checking for existing files in first condition.

Also, if you're in a subdirectory (like /old/ or something, you should add a RewriteBase or a leading slash to your index.html. Otherwise it will look in current directory (404 error probably).

You can replace your code by this one

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(old|images)/ [NC]
RewriteRule . /index.html  [L]
