Rewrite rule not working on virtual host

I have spent 2 days on the following problem:

I have a virtual host on an apache 2.4.7 server with the following configuration:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        DocumentRoot /home/xxx/test/www
        ServerAdmin [email protected]
        ServerName test.xxx.com
        ServerAlias www.test.xxx.com
        AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php

        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/xxx-test-error.log
        LogLevel warn
        LogLevel alert rewrite:trace6

        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/xxx-test-access.log combined

        <Directory />
                Options FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride All
        </Directory>

        <Directory /home/xxx/test/www/>
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride All
                Require all granted
        </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

And an .htaccess file like this:

 <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule ^article/([^/\.]+)/?$ article-page.php?name=$1 [L]
    RewriteRule ^list/.?$ list.php [L]
    RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ sitemap.php [L]
    </IfModule>

I want to have all the URL started by /list/ treated with list.php

But when I lauch the URL: http://test.xxx.com/list/yyy-category

It just returns a 404. I have checked, the list.php exists and have the good rights.

I checked the logs and I got:

Any idea on how to fix this ?

I have found it, it's something really stupid in fact. As seen in the logs, it tries to make it match with the following file and it's not a good path

home/xxx/test/www/list.php/yyy-category

The best way not to confuse apache is not have the file with a name completeny different from the URL prefix like "list-page.php". The rule that works is now:

RewriteRule ^list/(.+)?$ list-page.php?query=$1 [L]

Your .htaccess matches urls which start with "list/" and are followed by one character, or none (that's what .? means).

In your case, you have to change the rule that way:

RewriteRule ^list/.*$ list.php [L]

The .* symbols mean "I want any character, 0 or more times".
