Fix my canonical htaccess code WordPress
- REFUNDED
I need to configure htaccess to rewrite calls to "robots.txt", "favicon.ico" and various CSS stylesheets which Wordpress is misloading for some reason, but my code doesn't work.
This is the code I wanted to use:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
# Canonical robots.txt
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/robots.txt$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} robots\.txt [NC]
RewriteRule .* http://traveltipsthailand.com/robots.txt [R=301,L]
# Canonical favicon.ico
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/favicon.ico$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /favicon(s)?\.?(gif|ico|jpe?g?|png)?$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://traveltipsthailand.com/favicon.ico [R=301,L]
# Canonical stylesheets
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/custom.css$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /custom\.css [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://traveltipsthailand.com/wp-content/themes/GeoPlaces3/custom.css [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/1-default.css$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /1-default\.css [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://traveltipsthailand.com/wp-content/themes/GeoPlaces3/skins/1-default.css [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/reset.css$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /reset\.css [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://traveltipsthailand.com/wp-content/themes/GeoPlaces3/library/css/reset.css [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
The rest of my htaccess file looks like this and works just fine:

What I need is a complete htaccess file with the new code inserted, that I can use to replace my current htaccess file without causing any server problems.

I don't see why would you would need a rewrite for such things:
* robots.txt should be in the root directory of your website and should be accessible with http://traveltipsthailand.com/robots.txt this is the place where crowlers will look for, so no need for a rewrite condition.
[[LINK href="http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=156449&from=40360&rd=1"]]Google says [[/LINK]]
<blockquote>You need a robots.txt file only if your site includes content that you don't want search engines to index. If you want search engines to index everything in your site, you don't need a robots.txt file (not even an empty one).</blockquote>
* favicon.ico path is set in the theme header with something like:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/favicon.ico" />
* Same thing for styles:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="<?php bloginfo( 'stylesheet_url' ); ?>" />
So as you can see, no need for rewrite for such simple things :)

You can acomplish all that rewrites simply using redirections
<IfModule mod_alias.c>
RedirectMatch 301 ^/custom\.css http://domain.tld/dir/dir/custom.css
</IfModule>
Luis Cordova answers:
try this
<IfModule mod_alias.c>
RedirectMatch 301 ^/robots\.txt http://traveltipsthailand.com/robots.txt
RedirectMatch 301 ^/favicon\.ico http://traveltipsthailand.com/favicon.ico
</IfModule>
