htaccess redirect if url doesn't contain some string

Question

I want to redirect all incoming requests to another url if it doesn't contain # and admin. I need it for angular.js, but I have /admin with php

For example:

http://example.com/link-to-article -> http://example.com/#/link-to-article

http://example.com/admin/* will not redirect

You can use this code in your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule !^((admin|login)(/.*)?)?$ /#%{REQUEST_URI} [L,NC,NE,R=302]

Also remember that web server doesn't URL part after # as that is resolved only on client side.

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f skips this rule for all files.
Using ! negates whole match in RewriteRule pattern
((admin|login)(/.*)?)? matches anything that is /admin/ or /login/ OR emptry (landing page)
If negation is true then this rule redirects it to /#%{REQUEST_URI} where %{REQUEST_URI} represents original URI.

"This webpage has a redirect loop" :/ How to check if URL doesn't contain # ?

Levan Lotuashvili Over a year ago

Doesn't work. Can't load /js and other dependencies. Can I check multiple urls in one line? admin, js, css, fonts, img, data and views?

And can I add another url to not redirect? /admin and /login for example
