Htaccess DirectoryIndex index.php Not Found 404

Oh that *is* interesting.

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/favicon.ico
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

The condition that is in bold above (which is already in the htaccess), should be doing the trick.  But for some reason, it’s not.

The “RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d” says, “if the request is not a directory, then use the rewrite rule below”.  And so, a request for an existing directory should fall through on this condition.

Another interesting thing to note is that we’ve got cascading htaccess files.  One in the parent public_html (drupal’s), and one in the dir1 folder (wp / optimizepress).  Cascading mod_rewrites are the best!

Ok, so quick and simple fix?

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh….   FOUND IT.

The “RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d” was in fact working.

But before that condition in the htaccess, was this:

# Set the default handler.
DirectoryIndex index.php

And there’s no index.php in the “/dir1/dir2/” folder.  Despite the fact that there is an index.html.  Hence, 404.

I’ve commented out that line, and Viola.
