I have a .htaccess rule that will redirect any requests, starting at the directory containing the .htaccess file, to index.php:

(Toggle Plain Text)

RewriteRule ^$ index.php [L]

However, this will redirect anything, so /potato or /pot/head/eater will both be redirected. I need a way to redirect everything that does not begin with cookbook/. Can anyone help me out here? Thanks.

The closest thing I've come up with is

(Toggle Plain Text)

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^cookbook.*
RewriteRule ^$ index.php [L]

But it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?

What about:

(Toggle Plain Text)

RewriteRule !(^cookbook.*) %{REQUEST_URI} [L]
RewriteRule ^$ index.php [L]

Try

(Toggle Plain Text)

RewriteEngine on

Before the rule. You need to turn on redirecting before you tell it how to redirect.
