It's not a big problem - it's just annoying and makes you appear
impolite (eg, WRITING IN CAPiTALS = shouting). See

Hacks? Requesting a non-existent URL is not a hack, it's a perfectly
normal occurance on the web and the protocol defines exactly what to do
- return a 404 status message. Optionally, the server can redirect to
another resource, but it's assumed that the other resource would give
the user *more* information about what went wrong.

The routing is not "working correctly" because you have a
misconfiguration in your config (did you search it for any PHP related
directives?). We could probably offer more advise if we could see the
error_log (it'll say what file it can't actually find) but it looks like
you can't be bothered to dig that out...
