.htaccess - Codeigniter at subfolder and htaccess for inner redirection -

i have project custom engine @ backend, i'm trying hook every request @ /somewhere/ codeigniter. put ci /www/somewhere/, configured codeigniter's .htaccess new rewritebase, looks like:

adddefaultcharset utf-8 options -indexes  <ifmodule mod_rewrite.c> rewriteengine on rewritebase /somewhere/  directoryindex index.html index.php   rewritecond %{request_uri} ^system.* rewriterule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [l]  rewritecond %{request_uri} ^application.* rewriterule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [l]   </ifmodule> 

my ci creates static html project , stores @ /compiled/, have structure

/www/   /custom-engine/   /img/   /js/   /somewhere/    <--- ci's root      /application/      /system/      /compiled/      <--- storage html         my-file.html         /my-compiled-folder/         /one-more/             /sub-compiled/                index.html 

and works fine. but. need open compiled files without /compiled/ in url.

works: http://domain.com/somewhere/compiled/one-more/sub-compiled/

need: http://domain.com/somewhere/one-more/sub-compiled/

i needn't redirect compiled folder/file, open it. need add .htaccess. want keep access ci. example have controller helloworld , accessible http://domain.com/somewhere/helloworld/ (in fact have administration panel somewhere here).

so.. want open files directly /compiled/, need save ci. should add .htaccess?

tested , working.

the idea verify request_uri other /system/ or /application/ , see if exists /compiled/ folder.

rewriteengine on rewritebase /somewhere/  rewritecond %{request_uri} ^/somewhere/(system|application)/ [nc] rewriterule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [l]  rewritecond %{request_uri} ^/somewhere/(.+)$ [nc] rewritecond %{document_root}/somewhere/compiled/%1 -d [or] rewritecond %{document_root}/somewhere/compiled/%1 -f rewriterule . compiled/%1 [l] 

you seem avoid /somewhere/ in htaccess. maybe have avoid in code (depends on server configuration)
