First a warning, I'm new to Exponential and am just figuring things out. I've been reading the manuals and forums and can't seem to find the answer to my question which maybe I'm just phrasing wrong.

I need to have content live side by side with Exponential content that isn't stored or controlled by Exponential.

e.g.
http://website.com/FileNotInEZ.html
http://website.com/FileInsideEZ.html

The problem I run into is that when I try to access the file that isn't generated or handled by a template, it just opens the main pagelayout.tpl template.

Thanks

Hi Patrick

Welcome to the eZ Community!

You need to modify the Apache rewrite rules, either in your virtual host configuration, or in the .htaccess file, to allow direct access to the file.

Thanks for the welcoming note.

Do you have an example of what I would put inside my virtual host configuration? what would I do in the case of a .htaccess?

Thanks
