Rewrite only if a folder exists

RewriteCondthat checks if the requested file exists:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

Great, but that’s not what I was looking for. Instead I needed to Rewrite only if a specific folder existed. The solution turns out to be this:

RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/path/within/your/project/ -d

You need DOCUMENT_ROOT as the RewriteCond -d checks for the full path

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

</IfModule>
