RewriteRule$.* index.php
RewriteRule takes a regular expression as its first parameter
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html#RewriteRule.
The $ regex meta-character is an end-of-line marker. It has no special
meaning at the beginning of a pattern. If you want a pattern that matches
anything including nothing, use:
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php
I shouldn't have copy/pasted, because index.php also is wrong in this
context. If one is trying to redirect from, say,
/dir_that_may_not_exist/ to index.php, then how is apache supposed to
serve up /dir_that_may_not_exist/index.php. It can't. So logically the
2nd parameter has to be /index.php. For clarity's sake, using the L
modifier for parameter #3 is also a good idea:
RewriteRule ^.*$ /index.php [L]
Mod_rewrite is a complex beast, so read the docs closely. And if all you
really need is to capture/redirect 404s, check out the ErrorDocument
directive instead. Simple to use, easy to learn, and none of the
mod_rewrite overhead.
