my root folder have following .htaccess:

options -indexes options +followsymlinks <ifmodule mod_rewrite.c>     rewriteengine on       rewritecond %{http_host} ^yourdomain.com [nc]     rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [l,r=301]        rewritecond %{request_filename} !-f     rewritecond %{request_filename} !-d     rewriterule .* loader.php [l,qsa]    </ifmodule> 

i want exclude folder of siteadmin rule of rewriterule .* loader.php [l,qsa] on root folder

inside subfolder: "siteadmin" have .htaccess files this:

authtype basic authname "siteadmin" authuserfile "/home/user1/.htpasswds/public_html/siteadmin/passwd" require valid-user 

loader.php (on root directory):

<?php //die('only enable script if dont have support multiviews'); $relative = ''; $loaders  = array(     'ajax' => 1,     'album' => 1,     'albums' => 1,     'blog' => 1,     'blogs' => 1,     'captcha' => 1,     'categories' => 1,     'community' => 1,     'confirm' => 1,     'error' => 1,     'feedback' => 1,     'feeds' => 1,     'game' => 1,     'games' => 1,     'index' => 1,     'invite' => 1,     'loader' => 1,     'login' => 1,     'logout' => 1,     'lost' => 1,     'mail' => 1,     'notice' => 1,     'notices' => 1,     'photo' => 1,     'requests' => 1,     'search' => 1,     'signup' => 1,     'static' => 1,     'stream' => 1,     'upload' => 1,     'user' => 1,     'users' => 1,     'video' => 1,     'videos' => 1,     'edit' => 1 );  $query      = ( isset($_server['query_string']) ) ? $_server['query_string'] : null; $request    = str_replace($relative, '', $_server['request_uri']); $request    = str_replace('?' .$query, '', $request); $request    = explode('/', trim($request, '/')); if (isset($request['0'])) {     $page   = $request['0'];     if (isset($loaders[$page])) {         require $page. '.php';     } else {         header('http/1.0 404 not found');         die();     } } else {     header('http/1.0 404 not found');     die(); } ?> 

the loader.php job when access site http://www.domain.com/signup load signup.php

the siteadmin still not able use password protect. there anyway can exclude folder siteadmin loader.php rule?

try code :

options -indexes options +followsymlinks  rewriteengine on rewritecond %{http_host} ^yourdomain.com [nc] rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [l,r=301]  rewritecond %{request_filename} !-f rewritecond %{request_filename} !-d rewritecond %{request_uri} !^/siteadmin/? rewriterule ^(.*)$ loader.php [l,qsa]
