Apache mod_rewrite to return a 404 except one directory

Question

I'm trying to configure Apache to return a default 404 page when the / of DocumentRoot is called, except for some directories in that DocumentRoot

Unfortunately, I'm getting a 404 even for the directories that have been specified in the RewriteCond directive.

Here is my setup :

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond ${REQUEST_URI} !/dir1/
RewriteCond ${REQUEST_URI} !/dir2/
RewriteRule (.*) - [R=404,L]

Thanks for your help !

nm, got it working with RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^(.*)/dir1(.*)$ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^(.*)/dir2(.*)$ RewriteRule (.*) - [R=404,L] — Sylvain V, Jul 25 '11 at 11:09

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^(.*)/dir2(.*)$
