apache. redirecting files to another directory

[Sim]

I am trying to redirect files from a directory. I can do it, but I can't do it...

Heres what I got

This will redirect all files from findme.com/WHATEVER to findme.com/gamefiles

 

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /gamefiles/$1

 

So it works to an extent, but now my main files in findme.com does not work. so I tried:

 

RewriteRule ^(.*)/^(.*)$ /gamefiles/$1

 

but not it don't redirect files but the main files in findme.com work

Any ideas?

RewriteRule ^(.*)/index.php(.*)$ gamefiles/index.php?&game=$1 [NC, L]

What do you want to do exactly?

If you only want it to affect the "gamefiles" directory, use basedir /gamefiles/].

I want to keep my root directory intact

I want all sub directorys such as

root/sim

root/spudinski

root/hehe

to use the gamefiles directory. of course none of those directorys really exist.

Well, you can say all query strings without a dot(.) redirects, but it could cause problems.

There isn't something like a preg -v for PHP, that I know of. So an inverse option?

Try:

^.*(?!\.{3,4}$).*

 

Haven't tested, but I think it might work.
