getting error 500 with .htaccess when pointing a php file (mod_rewrite)

i made a simple .htaccess file to expose the problem.

I want that all request made to the folder redirect to a subfolder file "app/index.php"

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule (.*) app/index.php [QSA]

And this works fine on with the basic url of my hoster (like http//myname.hosting.com/htaccessFolder

The problem is that i have a domain pointing on this folder, and when accessed to it, server return Internal Server Error 500.

If i do this :

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule (.*) somefile.php [QSA]

Redirection works only when file does not exists (404 not found error occured). when the file exists i get a 500 error too.

I've asked the hosting support without success for the moment..

EDIT :

Strangely, when i write :

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule (.*) somefile.txt [QSA]

it works on bot, so it seems that the problem comes from executing php files..

EDIT2 :

Here is the real .htaccess file i try to use :

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /

    #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f 
    #RewriteRule .? - [L]

    #####################

    RewriteRule (.*) app/public/$1

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f 
    RewriteRule .? - [L]

    RewriteRule app/public/(.*) $1



    #####################

    #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} question2answers/(.+)
    #RewriteRule .? - [L]

    #####################

    #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    #RewriteRule (.*) index.php [L,QSA]

</IfModule>

You can see that only the public block is not commented but when i go to the website i get this : The requested URL /cgi-bin/php5.fcgi/index.php/index.php/index.php/index.php/index.php/index.php/index.php/in.....

but i request a file in the public folder (like http://website.com/css/style.css (which is in public/css) it works as expected. When i'm not commenting the last block, i get a 500 error.

Ok, i found a solution to avoid redirections :

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /

    #####################

    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} stop
    RewriteRule (.*) - [L]

    #####################

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} question2answers/(.*)
    RewriteRule (.*) $1?htaccess=stop [L,QSA]

    #####################

    RewriteRule (.*) app/public/$1

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f 
    RewriteRule (.*) $1?htaccess=stop [L]

    RewriteRule app/public/(.*) $1


    #####################


    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule (.*) index.php?htaccess=stop [L,QSA]

</IfModule>

I do not understand all but it works.

Try adding in your htaccess file:

Options -Multiviews

It turns off content negotiation which can sometimes screw with how URLs map to files with extensions like php.
