mod_rewrite question. Everything matching the rule.

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog.php [L]
</IfModule>

What I did was moved index.php to blog.php
But for all files .. say test.php which is a test file, it still calls blog.php
Even for directories which are present, for eg: images, it redirects to blog.php ..

I though the Conditions ie !-f and !-d should not redirect to blog.php for files which exist.

thanks.

 

no replies ?

 

Are you trying to change the directory index?
Put this in htacess
DirectoryIndex blog.php

 

no.

I had a wordpress blog running at the root.
But now I am starting something else in addition to the blog on the root.

So I changed index.php to blog.php in

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog.php [L]
</IfModule>


I thought !-f and !-d will take care of handling all non wordpress files and dirs. I mean if I have a file called test.html in the root dir then the url domain.com/test.html should show me that file. It does not. It shows me blog.php

pls help

 

I think you have mistake in .htaccess code
Try this one:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /blog.php [L]
</IfModule>

 

thanks a lot. I really appreciate the help.
