I need to do a 301 directory redirect in my httpd.conf file but exclude a subdirectory within the directory. Example:

RedirectPermanent /redirect/  http://www.mysite.com/

But I want to exclude this subdirectory /redirect/example/

Any ideas?

That won’t work with the Redirect directive, you’ll have to do the redirecting using mod_rewrite instead. – CBroe Sep 10 '13 at 11:51

After working on this on and off for a couple of days, I finally came up with a combination that works: – user2270874 Sep 18 '13 at 12:04
RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/redirect/example/.*? [NC] RewriteRule ^/redirect/? http://www.mysite.com [R=301,L] – user2270874 Sep 18 '13 at 12:05
