    I followed the steps in the user guide to remove index.php from my urls (http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/general/remove_index.php.html), however when I added that it killed the rest of my mod_rewrite redirects (ie. RewriteRule ^foobarred(/)?$ index\.php/foo/bar [NC]) even for folders that were not in the EE structure (note: if I add the ? after index.php as the guide suggests, it returns a blank page).

    After some testing the redirects only work if I add index.php to the redirect link (ie. index\.php\foobarred), again also for files outside of EE.

    Is this intentional? I’m pretty sure everything’s formatted correctly, so unsure what’s going here.

    Hi, ventismith.

    Unfortunately we don’t provide direct support for .htaccess issues other than the defaults listed in the User guide. Moving to the Community Help forum for additional community support.
