Mod_rewrite rules for project in .htaccess

Question

I'm having some trouble with mod_rewrite rules in a PHP site I'm doing.

I'm on Apache 2.4.9 (Unix) - apache that comes with Mac OSX Yosemite.

I have the .htaccess file in the root of the project, and it's set up to run in a virtual host... so the address I'm reaching the project from is http://project.local . Here's what I have in .htaccess :

RewriteEngine On

# Don't rewrite files
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
# Don't rewrite directories
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^pages pages.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^page/([0-9a-zA-Z]+) page.php?var=$1 [QSA]

Here's my virtual host set-up:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin me@me.com
    DocumentRoot "/Users/Me/Sites/project"
    ServerName project.local
    ServerAlias project.local
    ErrorLog "/Users/Me/Sites/logs/project_error_log"
</VirtualHost>

And here is what I have in page.php :

<?php
echo "Hello " . $_GET['var'];
?>

I can access http://project.local/pages successfully, and it shows the content from pages.php from the above rule. But when I go to http://project.local/page/testpage , it shows the Hello but not the $_GET['var'] . What am I doing wrong?

Disable options MultiViews by placing this code in your .htaccess:

Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On

# Don't rewrite files
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
# Don't rewrite directories
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^pages pages.php [NC,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^page/([0-9a-zA-Z]+)/?$ page.php?var=$1 [QSA,L,NC]

Option MultiViews is used by Apache's content negotiation module that runs before mod_rewrite and makes Apache server match extensions of files. So /file can be in URL but it will serve /file.php .

我通过在.htaccess文件中添加以下行来解决此问题。
