特定htaccess的403禁止错误重写

Question

I am using .htaccess ' RewriteRule to redirect a url to the proper page for a client, everything works fine, except for Rewriting the word catalogue! I get a 403 forbidden error.

This is my code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^catalogue$ /catalogue.php
</IfModule>

This results in this:

Now, what is driving me crazy is, if i switch the code to RewriteRule ^catalog$ /catalogue.php or RewriteRule ^cataloguee$ /catalogue.php and browse to the respective url, the page displays without the error.

Any ideas why this is occuring?

It looks like what's happening is some kind of DirectorySlash functionality is kicking in (adds a trailing slash when it thinks you're trying to access a directory). It's probably better not to turn that off so just match against the URI with the trailing slash:

 RewriteRule ^catalogue/?$ /catalogue.php [L]
