RewriteCond Help

What the heck is wrong with this?

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !-f
RewriteRule ^/([^/.]+)\.html$ /test.php?filename=$1 [L]


It's rewriting EVERY request, even for files that do exist. When I try
-f instead of !-f, it doesn't rewrite any requests. I've also tried -F,
!-F, %{REQUEST_FILENAME}, and every combination of the mentioned
possibilites and every time I use the ! it rewrites everything, and
without the ! it won't rewrite anything. What's going on?

REQUEST_FILENAME should be th right ENV, you must check -f against a
full physical path like /var/www/htdocs/123.html

Did you setup a RewriteLog with RewriteLogLevel 5? You should see the
value of that variable there.

If the value of REQUEST_FILENAME is empty, try an internal sub request

RewriteCond %{LA-U:REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^/([^/.]+)\.html$ /test.php?filename=$1 [L]
