Mod-Rewrite rules are breaking 404 routing
- by Sparky672
I am using the following mod-rewrite in my .htaccess file:
RewriteRule ^$ pages/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ pages/$1 [L]
The intention is to hide the subdirectory called /pages/ from displaying in the URL.
So this: http://mysite.com/pages/home.html
Will look like this: http://mysite.com/home.html
It works but there are some unintended consequences.
As a direct result of the .htaccess code I posted above, my 404 routing is no longer working at all. Anything that should trigger a 404 error page is instead generating a 500 Server Error.
How to fix?
