.htaccess

I have the following RewriteRule in place. This rewrites everything that starts with mac, linux or windows:

RewriteCond $1 ^(mac|linux|windows) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/site/index/$1 [L]

Unfortunately this also rewrites /mac/test/testing. How can I prevent it from applying if there is another segmend after /mac?

I'm not using .htaccess files but I have been doing some copy on the server so may have messed things up but no changes to this domain (unless by accident!). What is this pcfg_openfile thing anyway? Done… >>> More
