I am playing with Silex \/ Symfony for writing Tsugi applications and had to come up with a better .htaccess file because my old one did not route the “\/” into the fallback resource correctly. <\/p>\n

The problem is that there is a directory for “\/” that stops the final rewrite url from happening because of the (red) RewriteCond.<\/p>\n

So we add two very explicit rewrite statements (green) to handle the “standalone slash” and the “standalone slash followed by a query string”.<\/p>\n

\r\n    &lt;IfModule mod_rewrite.c&gt;\r\n        RewriteEngine on\r\n        RewriteRule ^ - [E=protossl]\r\n        RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on\r\n        RewriteRule ^ - [E=protossl:s]\r\n\r\n        # Root folder all alone\r\n        RewriteRule \"^\/$\" silex.php [L]\r\n        # Root folder with GET parameters\r\n        RewriteRule \"^\/?.*$\" silex.php [L]<\/strong>\r\n\r\n        RewriteRule \"(^|\/)\\.\" - [F]\r\n        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f\r\n\r\n        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d<\/span>\r\n\r\n        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=\/favicon.ico\r\n        RewriteRule ^ silex.php [L]\r\n    &lt;\/IfModule&gt;\r\n    &lt;IfModule !mod_rewrite.c&gt;\r\n        FallbackResource silex.php\r\n    &lt;\/IfModule&gt;\r\n<\/pre>\n
I have a feeling it won’t work well for the FallbackResource – as it will find the “.” folder and not “fall back”.  So this kind of means I need mod_rewrite.<\/p>\n
Alternatively just rename ‘silex.php’ to ‘index.php’ if I don’t want to have a separate index.php.<\/p>\n
Sigh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
