RewriteRule on apache2

Question

I have a problem with the Rewrite rules. I'd like to redirect domain.xx/example to domain.xx/index.php?content=example

This would actually work, but I also have a file named example.php in the same folder (domain.xx/example.php). Whenever I open domain.xx/example, the server opens example.php instead of redirecting me to index.php?content=example.

The mod-rewrite is on and works fine when I delete the example.php file.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^example$ index.php?content=example [NC,L]

Answer 1

That is because of MultiViews option.

Add this line on top of your .htaccess:

Options -MultiViews
