codeigniter .htaccess url issue

Question

I want to do this: (firstly, ci is my codeigniter folder)
If user call ci/2012.htm I want to redirect ci/oyna/oyun/2012.htm I'm trying to use this but It's not running.

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|resources|robots\.txt)
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/oyna/oyun/$1 [L,QSA]

When I call ci/2012.htm it returns codeigniter 404 not found page.

Is the line feed between on and RewriteCond missing in your real file, or just a copy/paste mistake? — Joachim Isaksson

You may want to clarify your question a bit, are you trying to redirect all requests .htm files to static files in that folder and avoiding passing them through codeigniter (ie without passing them through index.php)? — Joachim Isaksson

@JoachimIsaksson when I call ci/oyna/oyun/2012.htm it returns true things. — user1648692

First; you have two rewriterules that conflict for the rewrite you're making;

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/oyna/oyun/$1 [L,QSA]

The L flag indicates that if a rule matches, the next rules won't be used. Since 2012.htm matches the first rule (both rules match everything), it will be rewritten to index.php/2012.htm and stop there, not even getting to your oyna/oyun rewrite.

The solution would be to swap the rules and make the .htm rewrite more specific so it only rewrites .htm files. Changing the rule to;

RewriteRule ^(.*\.htm)$ index.php/oyna/oyun/$1 [L,QSA]

should work better.

The result, after putting the most selective rule first, should look something like (untested, no apache here)

EDIT: Added missing RewriteCond, you need one per RewriteRule

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*\.htm)$ index.php/oyna/oyun/$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]

Result: Internal Server Error ?

@user1648692 Sorry, added a missing RewriteCond, there needs to be one per RewriteRule.

same. And now it can't reach css files.

@user1648692 Depending on where your css files are stored (and at what path they're fetched), you may need to put back the RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-fand RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d. And with "same", do you mean internal server error? I just got to a machine where I could test the setup and with a cut'n'paste from above I get the correct redirect without any errors.
