.htaccess - mod_rewrite适用于某些页面但不适用于其他页面

Question

I am stuck into a weird problem.

I have a file at the location /public_html/academics/courses.php

I want .htaccess to mod_rewrite the URLs as below:

Original URL: http://niecdelhi.ac.in/academics/courses/

After mod_rewrite: http://niecdelhi.ac.in/index.php?inc=/academics/courses/

What I want, basically, is to mod_rewrite all URLs to index.php and pass the URL as a parameter named "inc". Then, in the index.php I include the file by doing include($_GET['inc']);

mod_rewrite is working for some pages on the website. and I am getting the URL in $inc. But, it is not working at all for other pages.

For example, consider the two files that exist on the server:

1. http://niecdelhi.ac.in/academics/courses.php
2. http://niecdelhi.ac.in/academics/library.php

mod_rewrite is working for the first, the file gets included in index.php But for the second I get the plain existing file. not the one included in index.php

I hope you understand the problem that I am facing. Please provide me with the solution.

.htaccess file

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\..*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (.*) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?inc=$1&%1 [L]

Page working: http://niecdelhi.ac.in/academics/courses/

Page not working: http://niecdelhi.ac.in/academics/library/

*EDIT*

There is no other .htaccess anywhere. Although, I have found a clue about what is happening. The problem is happening only in Linux server. The code is working correctly in Windows server.I have a Linux server with PHP 5.2.16.

Also, regarding some pages working and some not. I have found that only those pages are working which have a folder with identical name in the same directory. For example, The academics directory is as below:

academics/
    |_ courses/
    |    |_ mba.php
    |    |_ mca.php
    |_ courses.php
    |_ library.php

Now, Since courses.php has a folder with identical name in same directory. It gets mod_rewrite fine. But library.php is not getting mod_rewrite.

Linux server is skipping the mod_rewrite for the files that actually exist. Why so ??

My only guess is that there is another .htaccess somewhere in your structure (most obviously inside /academics/ ) that is overriding the rule for "library".

Could there be another mod_rewriting rule inside that folder that is kicking in for the word LIBRARY and probably messing up your rewriting.

Note that it might also be a native apache issue. For example, in ubuntu, by default in version 10.10 (i think thats it) if you had a /javascript/ folder, it would be short circuited to /usr/lib/javascript or something like that...

Check all possible instances of mod rewrite in httpd.conf, all dynamicaly loaded .conf files, your vhost file and finaly the path of your document root...
