Htaccess Regex problem with redirect

Question

When I use this in my htaccess file:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^site\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.site.com/ [R=301]

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f   
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1.php [NC,L] 

If you go to site.com without www it redirects to www.site.com/.php instead of www.site.com.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Maybe it's browser's cache from your old .htaccess? Try to empty the cache, or use other browser (or maybe Priavte Browsing).

Answer 2

I think at the root SCRIPT_FILENAME would be "/", which would not be considered a valid file and trip the !-f causing the rule to be applied.

Since the / is a character caught by the regex it will rewrite it to www.site.com/.php
