How to rewrite if exists a php file with the same name?

mod_rewrite trouble

[zeldix]

Hello,

I want to rewrite http_//mydomain.com/f to http_//mydomain.com/

This is my .htaccess code:

Rewriterule ^f$ / [R=301,L]

rewrite works, but if exists a file called f.php, then doesn't work (I have 404 error when f.php exists)

I tried to do this:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
Rewriterule ^f$ / [R=301,L]

also I tried to do this:

Rewriterule ^f([^\.php])$ / [R=301,L]

But doesn't work. I need help Is possible this rewrite? or I should delete f.php file? Please help me Thanks

If you're on Apache 1.x, disable MultiViews (unless you use them).

If you're on Apache 2.x, disable MultiViews and disable AcceptPathInfo (unless you use them).

Directives:

Options -MultiViews
AcceptPathInfo Off

Also, if this is really supposed to be an external redirect instead of an internal rewrite, I suggest that you specify the full URL to avoid potential canonicalization problems.

RewriteRule ^f$ [i]http://www.example.com[/i]/ [R=301,L]
