htaccess check if url filename exists in certain folder

[JamesB]

Hi! Is it possible to have a htaccess file check if the filename in the URL, exists in a certain folder on the server? I have this URL:http://127.0.0.1/mywebsite/directions Which should check if this file exists:<root>/mywebsite/Templates/Pages/directions.php If it doesn't exist, a 404 should be given. I have this code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteCond /Templates/Pages/%{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php !-fRewriteRule (.*) - [L,R=404] </IfModule>

But it's currently giving a 404 on all pages. Edit:The .htaccess file is at:<root>/mywebsite/.htaccess
