First, your line: RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !img/
That should be: RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/img/ (in other words, don't forget the opening ^ and first forward slash to make it match properly) I'm going to run some tests on it on my server to see if I can figure out a pattern that works properly. I have a hunch that we should be putting these rules in app/webroot/.htaccess instead, but I'll let you know that as well ASAP :) Ben -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
