.htaccess to pass/ignore directory

I have a subdomain, blog.mysite.com, that points to /home/myname/ public_html/blog My rails app sits at /home/myname/myrailsapp I have a symlink from /home/myname/public_html -> /home/myname/ myrailsapp/public And another symlink from /home/myname/myrailsapp/public/blog -> /home/ myname/blog

This way my rails app and the blog subdomain sit outside of the / public_html. Just makes it easier to update the rails app so that I don't mistakenly delete the blog subdomain. At worst, I would only delete a symlink.

OK?

I need a .htaccess rewrite so that http://blog.mysite.com does not get rewritten into rails. So I tried what is suggested in the default .htaccess:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/blog.* RewriteRule .* - [L]

But that does not work, the rails app works just fine.

Anyone have some suggestions for a rewrite that will work in this case?

Shouldn't that be RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^blog.* ? Fred

Tried that. Sorry, doesn't work.

Turn on the mod_rewrite logging so tht you can see exactly what is going on.

I can't enable logging. I don't have access to httpd.conf.

Is there something else I can try?
