Cumulative mod_rewrite rules

Question

I'm having trouble understanding the mod_rewrite condictions and rules workflow. despite reading this very nice tutorial http://craym.eu/tutoriels/referencement/url_rewriting.html. I can't perform the job I need :

here is my htaccess :

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^entreprise(.*)$ feerie$1


RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]

Here is what I'm searching for in that file :

• second rule, the simplest one (it works when it is alone), All the time rewrite

  • www.example.com/foo -> www.example.com/index.php?/foo .
  • This is a codeigniter framework rule.

  .

• the first rule in the file should rewrite :

  • www.example.com/entreprise -> www.example.com/feerie
  • and after that the second rule should rewrite
  • www.example.com/feerie -> www.example.com/index.php?/feerie

here what I have in the rewrite.log :

Adding this to the beginning seems to work :

RewriteBase /

Here is the full file

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^entreprise(.*)$ index.php?/feerie$1 [R,L]


RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]


</IfModule>

Can someone explain that to me ?
