I have basic htaccess file:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ rewrite.php?data=$1 [L,QSA]

It works as expected for the most part. What doesn’t work as I would like it to is this:

I have this link that doesn’t rewrite as per the rule:

But also these url’s are not rewritten either:

Is this normal behaviour? How can I fix this so that the only working url would end with movies.php

I think this is a multiviews problem. Disable multiviews with

Options -MultiViews
