htaccess redirect except 1 page

[adamjblakey]

Hi,

I am using the following code to redirect my site to a mobile site:

#redirect mobile browsers
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^.*iPhone.*$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.mobi/ [R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^.*BlackBerry.*$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.mobi/ [R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^.*Palm.*$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.mobi/ [R=301]

Which works fine however i have one URL which is:

http://www.mysite.co.u k/adminxx/login

That i dont want redirected if i go to this on my mobile. Is there a way to do this?

Cheers,
Adam

You can add a condition to each rule to make sure the request uri does not contain /adminxx/login

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^adminxx\/login

Or, you can make it skip these rewrites if the request is for /adminxx/login

    #redirect mobile browsers
    RewriteRule ^adminxx\/login - [S=6] #no rewrite, just skip next 6 lines
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^.*iPhone.*$
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.mobi/ [R=301]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^.*BlackBerry.*$
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.mobi/ [R=301]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^.*Palm.*$
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.mobi/ [R=301]

Note: you'll have to watch the number 6 in [S=6] when you modify the rules later because line count could change.

Thank you very much for your reply. I have tried both variations but neither seem to work. Can you see any reason why these would not work?

[Sudaraka]

Try it with the starting /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^\/adminxx\/login

RewriteRule ^\/adminxx\/login - [S=6]

[adamjblakey]

Sorry tried again but this still does not work. Any other options?

[Sudaraka]

hmm, not sure what's going on.
Try turning on rewrite log and see how your request goes through the rules you have.

Thanks for your help so far, i dont have access to the rewrite log to turn this on as i am on a shared hosting package. Is there anything else i can do at all?
