I have a slight situtation at hand. My new htaccess is interferring with one in another directory. Root htaccess Options +FollowSymlinks RewriteEngine On #this may cause isues with subdirs and so I have not enabled it. #RewriteBase / RewriteRule [.]*-vf([0-9]*) viewforum.php?%{QUERY_STRING}&f=$1 RewriteRule [.]*-vp([0-9]*) viewtopic.php?%{QUERY_STRING}&p=$1 RewriteRule [.]*-vt([0-9]*) viewtopic.php?%{QUERY_STRING}&t=$1 PHP: Root/Archive/ htaccess RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^.+\.html$ index.php [L] RewriteRule ^.+\.htm*$ index.php [L] RewriteRule ^member-.+\.html*$ index.php [L] RewriteRule ^members.+$ index.php [L] RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ index.php [L] PHP: How can I disable the main htaccess in the root directory not to invole itself with the archive directory. TIA
Prefix each rule with: RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/archive Finally giving you: RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/archive RewriteRule [.]*-vf([0-9]*) viewforum.php?%{QUERY_STRING}&f=$1 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/archive RewriteRule [.]*-vp([0-9]*) viewtopic.php?%{QUERY_STRING}&p=$1 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/archive RewriteRule [.]*-vt([0-9]*) viewtopic.php?%{QUERY_STRING}&t=$1
