A site i’ve built for a campaign needed to be redirected to another site as the campaign expired, but one folder in the domain needed still to be accessible. htaccess to the rescue:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule !^uploads($|/) http://example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
This rule does match any URL path that does not begin with either /uploads or /uploads/ (leading / is missing in the pattern due to the path prefix removal when used in .htaccess files) and redirects the request to the corresponding path at example.com.
