How to write a Rewrite rule?

Question

htaccess

We have:

RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/?$ index.php?module=category&url=$1 [L,QSA] #RewriteRule category
^([^/]*)/([^/]*)/?$ index. php?module=page&url=$1 [L,QSA] #category/category page
RewriteRule ^/?$ index.php?module=page&url=main [L,QSA] #main page

current nesting of URLs:
moysite.rf/
moysite.rf/category
moysite.rf/category/category-page The

code example above works, but there is an admin folder in the main directory , these rules (rewriterule) do not allow accessing the admin panel directly as a directory What did I miss and how can I fix it?

Answer 1

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^admin($|/) - [L]

RewriteRule ^$ index.php?module=page&url=main [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/?$ index.php?module=category&url=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)/?$ index.php?module=page&url=$1 [L,QSA]

Answer 2

I once had a similar problem. Here is an alternative option, in addition to the proposed one - add the following lines before your rules:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} "admin/" [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} "admin"
RewriteRule (.*) $1 [L]

Separately, I note that in my case there was a PHP request handler in the excluded folder, there is no information about this for your case.
PS
By the way, another option is to add a RewriteRuleline before each of yours
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
