Hope you don't mind me piping up in your thread obaluba, but I have a similar problem that has me scratching my head and possibly the answer would be the same for both of us!

I recently upgraded an old html site to C5 - all went well. Originally the site had an instance of AWStats installed in its own folder in the root (/stats). After turning on the pretty URL's this folder became inaccessible (404 Error). So I guess the question is whether it's possible to put an exception into the mod_rewrite rules in the htacess file? ie if a rule states "when a request URLx comes in, rewrite it to URLy", would it be possible to change it to "when a request URLx comes in, rewrite it to URLy, unless it is URLz" and it lets the specific URLz through unchanged. Hopefully, that would let me access http://www.mydomain.co.uk/stats.

If there is an easier way, please let me know!!

Cheers,

Duncan

I thought that I'd read ALL htaccess posts but just came across this one which has solved MY problem!
