[kwlug-disc] Apache 403 & access.log questions

[Charles M]

I was able to resolve the issue by whitelisting each folder I wanted
redirects to php in by adding in .htaccess the RewriteCond:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/help/me/[^/]*\.php$

So where /help/me is all the other folders /help/me2, /help/me3 all have a
rule like the one above. This was any php outside those specified don’t get
run.
