Apache - using .htaccess redirect to root folder

Question

I have a problem with the .htaccess file. I have it configured in this way.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l

RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ index.php?controller=$1 [L]

Every time I access http://localhost/mvc3/contacto/ I'm accessing http://localhost/mvc3/index.php?controller=contacto , up there it is correct but if the friendly URL I remove the final character / ( http://localhost/mvc3/contacto ) it returns me to the root page (wampserver server).

Here is explained in video of the problem, what would be happening?

Answer 1

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?controller=$1 [L]

Remove slash from the rewrite rule and it should work.
