exclude images folder from redirect rewrite rule

Question

I have set up in my .htacces file so that anyone trying to visit the site gets redirected to index.html, which is an under construction page. I have an image on there, that doesnt display cos the link gets redirected to index.html, how do i exclude the image from the rule, the path is /images/underConstruction.png.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/index.html
RewriteRule ^ /index.html [R=301]

Add a exclusion condition to your rules:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/images/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/index.html
RewriteRule ^ /index.html [R=301]
