Hi,
I have a request that the site contains specific URI pattern should
go to another URL while the other URI patterns goes to 404 page of
external site.
Here below the rule I have written, however this is not working for
wildcard match of the URI pattern.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}
!^/(files(.*)|admin(.*)|user(.*)|product(.*)|go(.*))$ RewriteRule .*
http://www.abc.com/page-not-found [R=301,NC,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(files|admin|user|product|go)
Round brackets are good for grouping OR clauses (produce|admin),
and good for storing back-references (.*). But you are not using
back-references, so you can drop a lot of those brackets. Also,
you can simply your use of the gobble-everything operator (.*)
by putting it at the end - although why would you need it?
You simply need to match a few phrases at the beginning of the
string.
So:
! If REQUEST_URI does not match
^ from the start
/ oblique
(files|admin|user|product|go) any of these phrases
