Question

The following RewriteRule works correctly

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com/$1/ [L,R=301] 

until I place this one just right below

RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9]+)/$ /profile/company-profile.php?cname=$1 [NC,L]

Now every domain.com/something-here goes to the company-profile.php

How can I fix this ?

Firstly, the domain.com/login takes you to the index.php of the login folder.
When I type the second RewriteRule, if I write domain.com/login again it shows (in the background) the company-profile.php?cname=login

Answer 1

I would recommend to use this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

# redirect company specific request
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9\-_]+)/?$ profile/company-profile.php?cname=$1 [NC,L]

# redirect all others
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/?$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com/$1/ [L,R=301]
