I need to set htaccess directives in a virtual host for everything that isn't either / or /example/{anything}. I've looked at everything I can find an it seems like apache is doing something weird with regex I can't figure out why it's not working.
Here is what I am trying, maybe someone can help me.
<Location "/">
...
</Location>
<LocationMatch "^(?!/example/.+)$">
...
</LocationMatch>
I'm stumped I've been trying different approaches all day.
Adding more to this the positive version of the regex works fine so
<LocationMatch "^(/example/.+)$">
works as expected, just the negative version always fails.
