url rewriting problem

Question

in my .htaccess file i have the following

Options -Indexes
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f 

RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)$  index.php?lang=$1&id=$2 [L]

so when i wrote http://mydomain.com/am/home it will be redirected to http://mydomain.com?lang=am&id=home

---

but i have a cms folder, and i need to go to

http://mydomain.com/cms/index.php when wrote

http://mydomain.com/cms but it doesn't happen.

what can i do?

Thanks

Answer 1

Add a RewriteCond:

RewriteCond $1 !=cms
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)$  index.php?lang=$1&id=$2 [B,L]

When you go to /cms, Apache probably does a 301 to /cms/, therefore your rewrite rule would match. This will avoid matching /cms/.

Answer 2

Add:

RewriteRule ^(.*)/?$ $1/index.php [L]
