[TYPO3-dev] Problem with mod_rewrite

[Lukas Stancik]

Hi,

I had exactly the same problem. After having a look into the mod_rewrite documentation I 
found out that the RewriteRule in your code below works probably only for directories 
(note the trailing slash at the end of line) but not for the files. I think that it 
instructs the engine to stop rewriting for directory /favicon.ico/ which obviously doesn't 
make much sense unless you have such directory :)

I have modified my .htaccess file like this:

---snip---
# Stop rewrite processing inside following directories
RewriteRule ^(typo3|t3lib|tslib|fileadmin|typo3conf|typo3temp|uploads)/ - [L]
# Stop rewrite processing if following files are requested in root of website
RewriteRule ^(favicon\.ico|robots\.txt|showpic\.php) - [L]
---snip---

I am not able to say if this is safe, correct or anything but it works :)

Still I could not figure out why is .htaccess referring to showpic.php file since it is 
located deep in typo3/ directory, maybe it's location changed during development of TYPO3???

PS: I'm sorry if this is a wrong list to post but I'd like to save some time to others 
that will hit this issue in future. Thanks for understanding.

Best Regards

Lukas Stancik
