htaccess is rewriting entire URL and leaving off subdirectories

I thought I had this figured out but no dice... I'm attempting to rewrite a domain but preserve the subdirectory paths:

www.olddomain.com/sub/directory/page.php

TO

www.newdomain.com/sub/directory/page.php

The following two directives are both needed. The first is the attempt to accomplish the above. The second is inserting a hidden "index.php" before every URL.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?olddomain\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]

Curently, no matter what URL I visit on olddomain.com, it takes me to newdomain.com/index.php. Maybe it is inserting the "index.php" from the previous site... I inserted [L] to attempt it to stop parsing the .htaccess file but it doesn't like that either. Any direction would be much appreciated.

You need to make sure to remove any rules you have on your old site (if the site resides in a different place than your new domain), otherwise, you need to make sure that the redirect is the very first rule, right under the RewriteEngine On line.

Your rule:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?olddomain\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

is correct. And as long as there's nothing before it, it should work.

Make sure you've cleared your browser's cache.
