Configure htaccess to load static pages - .htaccess

Question

Im working on a server with the following htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule .* index.php
RewriteRule ^[^/]*\.html$ index.php
RewriteRule ^/(typo3|typo3temp|typo3conf|t3lib|tslib|fileadmin|uploads|showpic\.php)/ - [L]
RewriteRule ^/(typo3|typo3temp|typo3conf|t3lib|tslib|fileadmin|uploads|showpic\.php)/.*$ - [L]
Now they asked me to prepare a static page inside their server, lets call it http://www.myserver.com/mystaticpage.html
The problem is that when i try to access that url, it redirects to index.php. How could I alter the htacces file to address this problem without messing anything with the installed CMS?

Answer 1

Try this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteCond ${REQUEST_URI} !^/(typo3|typo3temp|typo3conf|t3lib|tslib|fileadmin|uploads|showpic\.php)
RewriteRule .* index.php
The rules you used before were redundant: if .* is rewritten to index.php then why also rewrite ^[^/]*\.html$ index.php to it? it already matched previous rule...
They also overlapped - since the three RewriteCond conditions were only applied on the first rule. So the second rule was also applied to static files on disk.
Also, the two rules that were listed last had no effect whatsoever. Either you needed to list them first, or not at all. I converted them to an additional RewriteCond since they were only attempted to avoid rewrite on certain uris
