Redirect my IP to another section of the site using HTACCESS

Question

I'm trying to redirect all my traffic to a different part of the site and to redirect my IP to the development section, can someone tell me what I've done wrong?

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ==My IP
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?$ dev/index.php?page=$1 [L]

If i goto mysite.com/index it goes to a 404. If I remove the rewritecond for my IP then it works.

Answer 1

You can use that rule like this:

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} =11.22.33.44
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)/?$ dev/index.php?page=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} =11.22.33.44
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)/([^/.]+)/?$ dev/index.php?page=$1&action=$2 [L,QSA]

Answer 2

try this:

RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)/?$ /dev/index.php?page=$1 [L]
