[SOLVED] mod_rewrite load css and js if file not found

Issue

I have these lines in my httpd.conf which make the all the url as a single parameter ('name') and when I type an name that doesen't exist index.php is loaded properly and a 404 message is shown. But the problem is that JavaScript, CSS and other assets are not loaded. How to load those files even if a dir/ file doesn't exists. ? I'm using relative paths. Thanks ;)

<Directory  "c:/Apache24/htdocs/public">
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
        RewriteEngine On
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
        RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?name=$1 [QSA,L]
    </IfModule>
</Directory>

Solution

Generally, the FallbackResource directive is a cleaner and more performant way to achieve what you're trying to do here:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/mod/mod_dir.html#fallbackresource

Instead of the mod_rewrite stuff, just write this:

FallbackResource index.php

Inside the PHP script you can then turn the PATH_INFO environment variable into whatever you're using to capture the name argument.
