Laravel skip directory from framework

Question

I am facing a problem, the mapping of my site looks like this:

- app
- bootstrap
- public_html
  - archives
  - css
  - js
  index.php
- vendor
composer.json
etc...

My .htaccess is located in public_html. I want to skip the directory public_html/archives from the whole framework. How would I do that? I want the route mysite.com/archives to be accessible outside Laravel.

Edit: Here is my htaccess file

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
    Options -MultiViews
</IfModule>

RewriteEngine On

# Redirect Trailing Slashes...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} "/public/archives/" <--- ADDED!
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]

# Handle Front Controller...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]

Have you tried it? Because with the default .htaccess Laravel doesn't run on requests to files or directories that actually exist. — lukasgeiter

I have tried a lot of things with the .htaccess file, but it doesn't seem to work. — Displee

@Displee - please share the content of your .htaccess file. Have you made in changes to the file? — Mike Rockétt

I have added my htaccess file to the main post, sorry for the late reply. — Displee

As others have noted, Laravel won't process any files or directories that exist because of the following rules:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

First, take this rule out of your .htaccess file:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} "/public/archives/"

Then, after the RewriteEngine On line, you need to add this rule:

RewriteRule ^archives/?$ - [PT]

So your .htaccess file will look like this:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    <IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
        Options -MultiViews
    </IfModule>

    RewriteEngine On

    RewriteRule ^archives/?$ - [PT]

    # Redirect Trailing Slashes...
    RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]

    # Handle Front Controller...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>

Alternatively, you can just add the following line before RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/archives/?.*$
