How to Redirect All urls to a new domain in apache, except one

I need to redirect everything on one site to a new domain, except one path.

So domain.com/anything needs to go to newdomain.com/anything.

But I don't want domain.com/services/xml to redirect.

I've tried lots of conditions, but nothing works. It always ends up redirecting it, or redirecting it to some other weird path on the new domain.

This does not work:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/services/xml$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [L,R=301]

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I had the same problem migrating to a new domain but needed to keep the services endpoints active on old domain since they were externally active. The key was including a RewriteCond for index.php:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/services/active/endpoint$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index.php
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^old-domain\.org$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http%{ENV:protossl}://new-domain/$1 [L,R=301]

I figured this out, thanks to my conversation Ansari and some help with the hosting company. The problem seems to be that the the url was being rewritten to index.php, and then it was being redirected again after that. So:

  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/services/xmlrpc
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index\.php$ [NC]
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.wikiweightscore.com/$1 [L,R=301]

  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f 
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d 
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/favicon.ico 
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [QSA]

This works for the exact use case I was wanting.

Try this then:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/services/xml
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [L,R=301]
