Conflict, What is the right htaccess rule, default homepage file with

[basketmen]

i want [url]www.domain.com[/url] is directed to the [url]www.domain.com/forum.php[/url]

usually i use this htaccess rule to define default homepage file

RewriteRule ^$ forum.php

but in one of my website, above rule is conflict with the other htaccess

RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?)?)$ blog.php [L,QSA]

so the first rule is not working

please help how is the correct rule so both rule not conflict (maybe joining or split them)

i must found the answer, please help guys

Probably something like this:

RewriteRule ^$ forum.php [L]
#
RewriteCond $1 !^(blog¦forum)\.php$
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?[^.]+\.php(/.*)?)$ blog.php [L]

Replace the broken pipe "¦" character in the RewriteCond pattern with a solid pipe before use; Posting in this forum modifies the pipe characters.

In Jim's example there is a "broken pipe" character (meaning "or") between the words "blog" and "forum" in the rewrite condition.

This forum automatically replaces the required "solid pipe" character for security reasons.
