I have a public folder in my document root. I would like to redirect all the files that are not present in document root, but are present in the public folder. (So if the same file is in two places, the file that is not in the public will be served first.)
How can I do this ?
The following doesn't work:

RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/public/%{REQUEST_URI} -f¬
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [QSA, PT, L]

My example is working. The problem was the AllowOverride None in the server main configuration file. – Walkman Jan 22 at 18:22
It doesn't exactly do the described behavior though. It first check the file and rewrite if exists. – Walkman Jan 22 at 18:28

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/public/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /public/$1
