i made a simple .htaccess file to expose the problem.

I want that all request made to the folder redirect to a subfolder file "app/index.php"

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule (.*) app/index.php [QSA]

And this works fine on with the basic url of my hoster (like http//myname.hosting.com/htaccessFolder

The problem is that i have a domain pointing on this folder, and when accessed to it, server return Internal Server Error 500.

If i do this :

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule (.*) somefile.php [QSA]

Redirection works only when file does not exists (404 not found error occured). when the file exists i get a 500 error too.

I've asked the hosting support without success for the moment..
