[solved] htaccess rewrite breaks javascript

[david.radford@galleonmail.com]

Hi
I'm trying to install gtranslate, everything is fine until I add the line

Code: Select all

RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)/(.*)$ /gtranslate/translate.php?lang=$1&url=$2 [L,QSA]

to my htaccess, which results in 404 errors on the URLs to the javascript files.
The 404 page has

Code: Select all

<!-- generated by GTranslate Pro v3.1415 on Fri, 27 May 2011 12:10:50 +0100 visit http://edo.webmaster.am/gtranslate -->

so it is definitely a result of gtranslate.

any help greatly appreciated

Dave

I'm so stupid - worked it out. My javascript files were in a folder 'mysite/js/' the 2 letter folder was obviously being treated as a country code...

So, just in case this is a problem for anyone else - don't use '/js/' for you javascript folder!

You can also make it to exclude js folder by this rewrite condition before every gtranslate rewrite rule:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/js
