htaccess redirect but exclude images

I'm trying to use htaccess redirect to a file, but can't get the image to display.

I want to redirect ANY request to mydomain.com or www.mydomain.com to www.mydomain.com/test.html

This is the content of my htaccess file:

# Turn rewriting on
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/test.html
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=*\.png$ [NC]
RewriteRule .* /test.html

I have this line of code in my test.html file:

<img src="image.png" alt="My Image">

But the image doesn't display at all, I just get a broken image. I also tried using absolute path for image, same thing.

Solution

  • Try replacing your .htaccess file with the following

    # Turn rewriting on
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

#if the request does not end with test.html or is not a .png
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(test\.html|\.png)$ [NC]
# Rewrite it to test.html
RewriteRule .* /test.html  [L]
