[users@httpd] mod rewrite redirect if NOT in URL
Hi, I usually have no problem redirecting based on what is in the URL,
but now I'm trying to redirect all pages in a site to one page on the
same site. I have to exclude that one page from the redirection process
else I get an infinite loop. I've tried numerous combinations of the
following, but I can't see to get it to work....
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !^redirect\.html [NC]
RewriteRule ^/$ /redirect.html
Basically, if the URL doesn't contain 'redirect.html', redirect to
redirect.html
TIA

If there is nothing in the RewriteLog, then you haven't configured it
correctly or your aren't putting your directives in the right place.
It is always easiest to do mod_rewrite stuff in the main server or
<VirtualHost> context, and not in <Directory> sections or .htaccess
files. This eliminates a lot of complications.
Also, as I already mentioned, something is screwy above. RewriteRule
^/$ matches only a request for "/" and nothing else. If you are using
it in an .htaccess file, it very likely matches nothing since the
leading slash gets stripped. Perhaps you want RewriteRule .* instead.
Joshua.

I often have a need to exclude something from rewriting, and I ususaly
do it by having a rule that would match it, but that does not change
it, and giving it the L flag.
Your problem I would solve like this:
RewriteRule ^/redirect∖.html$ /redirect.html [L]
RewriteRule ^/.*$ /redirect.html
(Nortice also how your rule
RewriteRule ^/$ /redirect.html
would only match /, not every page)

Hi Joshua, thanks for the response. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to
be working for me. Right now I have this :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{Request_URI} !^/redirect\.html [NC]
RewriteRule ^/$ /redirect.html
And none of the pages I go to on the site get redirected. I set up the
rewrite log, and nothing is being entered into there (tailing it). To
ensure that Apache was executing my .htaccess file, I put some bogus
code in it and it thru an error, so that part's working.

(I suspect your example is off, since the RewriteRule above will not
create a loop; it only addresses one URL.)
Use the RewriteLog to figure out what is going wrong.
Either of these should work:
RewriteCond %{Request_URI} !^/redirect\.html [NC]
...
or
RewriteRule ^/redirect\.html - [L]
