.htaccess file's puzzling action (code inside)

I have this CMS set up in a folder called localhost:5999/madison/

The .htaccess file (code below) is in the same folder localhost:5999/madison/

If, in a browser, I go to localhost:5999/madison/ or to localhost:5999/madison/index.php or to localhost:5999/madison/xyz where xyz is anything not containing forward slashes, it redirects me to the following file: localhost:5999/madison/inc/views/view-404.php

My question is: Why?

.htaccess code:

RewriteEngine On
ExpiresActive On

#Expire Header
<FilesMatch "\.(ico|jpg|jpeg|png|gif|js|css|swf)$">
ExpiresDefault "now plus 7 days"
</FilesMatch>

ExpiresByType text/css "now plus 7 days"
ExpiresByType text/html "now plus 7 days"
ExpiresDefault "now plus 7 days"

AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/plain text/html text/xml text/css

RewriteRule ^(assets|inc) - [L]

RewriteRule ^admin[/]?$                         admin/index 

RewriteRule ^admin/edit/(.*)$                   index.php?type=admin&action=edit&page=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*)?$
RewriteRule ^admin/(.*)$                        index.php?type=admin&action=view&page=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*)?$
RewriteRule ^login$                             index.php?action=view&type=login&%1 [L]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*)?$
RewriteRule ^forgot-password$                   index.php?action=view&type=forgot-password&%1 [L]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*)?$
RewriteRule ^edit/user(/)?$                     index.php?action=edit&type=user&%1 [L]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*)?$
RewriteRule ^signup(/)?$                        index.php?action=edit&type=user&id=0&%1  [L]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*)?$
RewriteRule ^user/([0-9]+)(/)?                  index.php?action=view&type=note&user=$1&%1 [L]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*)?$
RewriteRule ^(suggestion|comment)/([0-9]+)(/)?  index.php?action=view&type=note&page=open&note_type=$1&note=$2&%1 [L]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*)?$
RewriteRule ^([0-9A-Za-z\-_]+)/(suggestion|comment)/([0-9]+)(/)?    index.php?action=view&type=note&page=$1&note_type=$2&note=$3&%1 [L]

#Catch All Pages
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*)?$
RewriteRule ^([0-9A-Za-z\-_]+)(/)?          index.php?action=view&type=page&page=$1&%1 [L]

The issue arises because you are hosting the CMS in a sub-folder localhost:5999/madison/ (without changes to the configuration file) and not directly in localhost:5999/

To solve the issue, make the following changes to config.php in /madison/inc/ directory:

config.php

/**
 *  Server Definitions
 */
define('SERVER_ABS', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']);
define('SERVER_URL', 'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);

To:

/**
 *  Server Definitions
 */
define('SERVER_ABS', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/madison');
define('SERVER_URL', 'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].'/madison');

That seems to be borne out for some custom 404 handler outside your current .htaccess.

Try adding these lines on top of your .htaccess:

DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /madison/

And keep your last rule as:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([\w-]+)/?$ index.php?action=view&type=page&page=$1 [L,QSA]

Then test this in a new browser to avoid old caches.
