title: .htaccess ignore directory
body: <p>I've got a modx website using seo urls. Works like a charm.</p>
  
  <p>Now i want an existing file in an existing directory to correctly display aswel, but am receiving the default modx 404 page instead.</p>
  
  <p>modx, the website itself is located in the webroot and uses the following .htaccess</p>
  
  <pre><code>Options +FollowSymlinks
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteBase /
  
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^.*internal\ dummy\ connection.*$ [NC]
  RewriteRule .* - [F,L]
  
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^foo\.com
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.foo.com/$1 [R=permanent,L]
  
  # Exclude /assets and /manager directories and images from rewrite rules
  RewriteRule ^(manager|assets|update)/*$ - [L]
  RewriteRule \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|ico)$ - [L]
  
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The update directory is where my existing file resides www.foo.com/update/index.html</p>
  
  <p>In the update directory i use the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>RewriteEngine Off
  
  &lt;IfModule mod_security.c&gt;
  # Turn the filtering engine Off
  SecFilterEngine Off
  &lt;/IfModule&gt;
  
  AuthGroupFile /dev/null
  AuthType Basic
  AuthUserFile /home/domains/foo.com/.htpasswd/public_html/update/.htpasswd
  AuthName "login"
  require valid-user
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As you can see this subdirectory is also password protected. But i doubt that is relative to my problem. In fact i've tinkered about with it... but so far no success.</p>
