Have a look here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/rewrite/rewrite_tech.html#InternalRuleset Basically your request will first be checked against the first RewriteRule. Since your first RewriteRule rule matches anything it will trigger, and then the RewriteConds above it are checked. If all mathches the rule is applied. Since you have the L flag no other rules are applied after one matches. The S flag is meant to skip the next RewriteRule, in case a rule matches. It is only needed if you have some other rules that need to be applied. So corrected for syntax your rules look like this: RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sioen.* RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /web/index.php?command=$1 [QSA,L] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /web/sioen.php?command=$1 [QSA,L] I usually don't put any whitespace between RewriteCond and RewriteRuld statements, so there is no doubt as to what belongs together. The above might however not do what you want it to do (judging by your previous attempt). Most probably you want this: RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /web/index.php?command=$1 [QSA,L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sioen.* RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /web/sioen.php?command=$1 [QSA,L] HTH, Krist (Tussen haakjes, is "sioen" wat ik denk dat het is :-) -- krist.vanbesien@xxxxxxxxx krist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Bremgarten b.
