HTaccess problem.

[Errant]

Hi, I have been puzzling over this problem for a week now and am no nearer an answer it seems!

 

I am creating a CMS system with clean URLS (so mydomain.com/category/page/action or whatever).

 

I have this in a .htaccess file

 

RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|core|robots\.txt)

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/?$1 [NC,L]

 

This WORKS but there is a problem. www.mydomain.com/ is recognised and redirected (with a blank passed as the string). BUT www.mydomain.com (without the trailing slash, aka like most people type it in) doesn't work! I get a 404 error plus a problem with the redirection or something from the server.

 

I think it is because it redirects to mydomain.com/index.php but not sure why that should cause the error? Any ideas? How do I fix it?

What happen if you define the rewrite base to the root

RewriteBase /
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|core|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/?$1 [NC,L]
