Get mod_rewrite to ignore directories and all subdirectories?

Question

I'm using Symphony CMS which as default has a mod_rewrite that rewrites all directories.

However, I need it to ignore the directories "test" and "transfer" and all their subdirectories.

Any help?

Answer 1

Place a new .htacess access files in each of your two directories, and then place the following in:

mod_rewrite off

That should sort it.

Answer 2

Put this rule above the others:

RewriteRule ^(test|transfer)(/|$) - [L]
