Unexpected htaccess behaviour (mod_rewrite and apache)
- by avastreg
Yeah, mod_rewrite is driving me crazy.
Here is the problem:
my htaccess
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [L,QSA]
when i try to access the page advantix (so address was www.mywebsite.com/advantix), i'm being redirected to advantix/?url=advantix
Looking at the access log, i have a suspicious 301 in the middle
"GET /advantix HTTP/1.1" 301 335 "-" "Mozilla/5.0"
"GET /advantix/?url=advantix HTTP/1.1" 200 186 "-" "Mozilla/5.0"
There is one important detail: advantix is a directory.
So, if i comment that rule, advantix goes to the folder and list the files.
Why it applies automatically the / if there's a folder matching?
I don't want to reach the folder, i want to reach index.php?url=advantix with a call to advantix.
I have the rewriteLogs too, but they didn't help more. My vhost conf has Directory tag with Options All, if helps, i don't know much about that.
