使用mod_rewrite将请求重写到父目录

Question

Doing some local PHP development with WAMP. Routing all requests to index.php, except requests for assets like stylesheets and images which are in a parent directory outside the document root. Directories are laid out as below:

C:\WAMP\www\
    ↳ mySite
        ↳ public
            ↳ .htaccess
            ↳ index.php
        ↳ assets
            ↳ style
                ↳ desktop.css

.htaccess

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /mySite/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.css$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ assets/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)\/?$ index.php?url=$1 [L,QSA]

mySite.conf

Alias /mySite/ "C:/WAMP/www/mySite/public/"

<Directory "C:/WAMP/www/mySite/public/">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride all
        Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Results

localhost/mySite/ - returns index.php as expected

localhost/mySite/style/desktop.css returns an Internal Server Error

What have I missed?

Thanks

Answer 1

It is probably due to looping.

Try this code to fix this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /mySite/

RewriteRule ^((?!assets/).+?\.css)$ assets/$1 [L,NC]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)\/?$ index.php?url=$1 [L,QSA]

Answer 2

As Anubhava below answered in another question:

Just to clarify any web site cannot access files above its DOCUMENT_ROOT folder level.

So I should have set the document root as mySite/ and routed all requests into public/ to achieve the same security I was aiming for by making public the document root.

Now that assets/ is inside the document root, I am able to rewrite asset requests to this directory as I desired in the OP.
