I will be updating this post with issues about mod_rewrite and its resolution ways.

1. I’ve faced with the problem when I worked with denwer (dklab solution, author: Dmitry Koterov), the following .htaccess was not working and returned 404 error:


RewriteEngine On
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^something/(.*)$ script.php [L]


How It was resolved:

I opened apache httpd.conf file and removed MultiViews option:

BEFORE:


Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes Multiviews


AFTER:


Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes


It can also be done in .htaccess:


Options -MultiViews
