Re: RewriteCond and negative matching

[Dave Wreski <dwreski@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

We're getting a ton of 404s for URLs for paths that don't exist, like /apps and other nonsense off the root that never existed that I'd like to redirect to the homepage.

...

If the "home page" is an index file in the documentroot, a simple FallbackResource will suffice, and you don't need to use mod_rewrite at all.

I believe that only works for physical files, like /images/myimage.gif, and not for virtual paths set up by Joomla, like /news/myarticle.html, correct?

I tried just adding it in the VirtualHost, but would like it to work for specific paths, not for any link that doesn't exist on the entire site.

Thanks,
Dave
