Hello, Recently I moved my WHMCS install which has broken a PayPal IPN. Currently I have this redirect in place: RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^rockandrollhosting.com$ [OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.rockandrollhosting.com$ RewriteRule ^clients\/?(.*)$ "http\:\/\/my\.rockhost\.com\/$1" [R=301,L] However, there is one single url behind /client that I need to be the exception to the rule: https://www.rockandrollhosting.com/c...ack/paypal.php I have Google'd myself googly eye'd without much luck. Any ideas? Thanks!

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URL} !^/clients/modules/gateways/callback/paypal\.php$

Hmm...I'm afraid that didn't work. Does it matter where I add that line in my .htaccess file? Thanks.

Use the ignore rule: RewriteRule ^(folder|anotherfolder|images|clients)(/.*)?$ - [NC,L] Hope this helps

Well I got a 404 Not Found error with that syntax. Should I modify any of that code beside the directory names? I used: RewriteRule ^(clients|modules|gateways|callback)(/.*)?$ - [NC,L] The actual file is /clients/modules/gateways/callback/paypal.php Thanks!

The full .htaccess file should look something like this for you (just based on the ignore rule): RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / # ignore following directories RewriteRule ^(clients|modules|gateways|callback)(/.*)?$ - [NC,L]

Well, that creates a 404 Not Found error for the actual url I'm trying to fix and stops the wildcard redirect altogether. What the hell... How would you edit this? -------------------- RewriteEngine on # -FrontPage- IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti* order deny,allow deny from all allow from all order deny,allow deny from all AuthName www.rockandrollhosting.com AuthUserFile /home/rockandr/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd AuthGroupFile /home/rockandr/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.grp Options +FollowSymLinks AddType application/x-httpd-php .shtml RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^rockandrollhosting.com$ [OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.rockandrollhosting.com$ RewriteRule ^clients\/?(.*)$ "http\:\/\/my\.rockhost\.com\/$1" [R=301,L]

Why you want to do this? Just change your whmcs paypal callback link in your paypal

Because that doesn't work for existing subscriptions. I have a ticket open with PayPal and WHMCS. Trust me, this is the proper solution.

ok, I am sorry if I am wrong Redirect 301 /clients/modules/gateways/callback/paypal.php http://rockandrollhosting.com/client...ack/paypal.php
