mod_rewrite mod_pagespeed RewriteCond

Question

I have the following in my .htaccess file:

# Allow any files or directories that exist to be displayed directly
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

# Rewrite all other URLs to index.php/URL
RewriteRule .* index.php/$0 [PT]

The server admin has installed Google mod_pagespeed and of course, because the folder doesn't exist, it logs an error every time as it tries to access /mod_pagespeed_beacon (and no stats are logged).

What RewriteCond do I need to add (and where) so /mod_pagespeed_beacon will work?

FYI, you can contact us at mod-pagespeed-discuss@googlegroups.com and list issues at http://code.google.com/p/modpagespeed/issues/list — sligocki, Nov 05 '10 at 17:55

Found the answer to my question. Just add the following:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/mod_pagespeed_beacon

I don't think it matters where in the list of rewrite conditions is goes.

-- Edit

I also needed the following to access the statistics:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/mod_pagespeed_statistics

Nice solution, we'll keep in mind if we see this issue again. – sligocki Nov 05 '10 at 17:56
Thanks for sharing the solution. Here is an updated rewrite code that works for other related URLs too... `RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/mod_pagespeed_[a-z_]+$` – Pothi Kalimuthu Jan 21 '13 at 12:27

This answer is now out of date with mod_pagespeed 1.9, see more recent answer by sligocki. – Richard Jan 15 '15 at 10:07

More generally you can whitelist all resources with pagespeed in the name with:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !pagespeed

See the new section in the mod_pagespeed FAQ

I have vBulletin 4 Suite + vBSEO Found that this line in .htaccess sorted out the problem

# mod_pagespeed
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(mod_pagespeed_statistics|mod_pagespeed_beacon) [NC]

Place it before this line in

RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

mod_rewrite mod_pagespeed RewriteCond
