The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

.htaccess redirect 301 with exceptions, help please

Asked by Fahdmurtaza in Regular Expressions, Apache Web Server, Miscellaneous Web Development

Tags: .htaccess, redirect, permanent redirect, 301 redirect, redirect rules, redirect conditions

Hi

I have moved my wordpress into a subdirectory, it was on root before

the directory's name is articles and its under root. I have moved successfully and got my new permalinks working fine. So the old urls now are 301 redirected to contain the /articles/ within url

For example

http://yogicameron.com/ayurveda1/i-fasted-for-the-first-time-the-other-day-ask-a-yogi/

is successfully redirecting permanetly to

http://yogicameron.com/articles/ayurveda1/i-fasted-for-the-first-time-the-other-day-ask-a-yogi/

now. So that part is 100% OK.

Now here is the tricky part. I don't want to do permanent redirection on domain name itself

Let me explain

http://yogicameron.com/

redirects to

http://yogicameron.com/articles/

while I dont want to have permanent direction on the domain itself. Rather I want the index.html to be accessed when http://yogicameron.com/ is accessed.

Also the last thing, I have a bunch of .html files in the root. I don't want to apply 301 redirection when such a url is accessed

http://yogicameron.com/any_file_name_contaning_and-or_numbers.html

These html files are in root.

I am attaching the code for .htaccess in my root. It does what I have specified above and lacks the functionality I mentioned. I am very new to regular expressions, thats why heavily counting on your help.
