It says in a support thread that Expression Engine has a maximum number of segments allowed that can't be changed (I can't think of a reason why they would need to do so).

I can't change the directory structure of my resources since it is structured by a ready made template. So I am stuck.

Does someone have a solution circumvent the issue of having too many segments?

Or at least disable Expression Engine from capturing and interpreting that page since the the links that I have that go over the maximum limit point to CSS files which don't need EE interpretation.

  • The maximum number of segments is 9. Give us more details, please. Maybe we can find an alternative.

  • I'm unclear, are these files on the server and not requests that ExpressionEngine should be handling?

  • @Derek The files are on the server. They are just simple CSS files that don't need EE processing.

  • See Johnathan Waters answer below then, it sounds like you have a server config issue. ExpressionEngine is not involved in files served outside the application. If his answer does not help, I suggest editing your question to include your .htaccess.

If you have structured you htaccess like the htaccess example. ExpressionEngine will not be consulted when accessing folders or files on your server.

These two lines in the htaccess are important

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

These make sure that if you are accessing a folder or file (like your css files), then do not have ExpressionEngine parse it. This essentially means there is no limit to your segments.
