URL-rewriting isn't working in another htdocs folder - apache

Question

First of all, I simply wanted to use another folder as the default htdocs directory.
In order to do so, I added these lines into my httpd.conf:
AliasMatch ^/php/(.+)$ F:/PHP/$1
<Directory "F:/PHP/*">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
The problem I experienced was that the URL rewriting I had set up for the former htdocs wasn't working properly. To do the rewriting, I had used this RewriteRule directive in my .htaccess file:
RewriteRule ^((?:(user|admin|debug)/)?[a-z_/]+)/(?:([0-9]+)/)?$ index.php?page=$1&auth=$2&id=$3
... which was located in "F:/PHP/lif-web-interface/" on my drive.
The URL I want to display is the following:
http://127.0.0.1/php/lif-web-interface/factionlist/
If it had performed correctly, I would have seen a rewritten URL with collected GET parameters on its end. When I had tried to add the [R] parameter, the output I got changed into the following:
http://127.0.0.1/F:/PHP/lif-web-interface/index.php?page=factionlist&auth=&id=
... which, surprisingly, was the thing I wanted to see. But yet, I didn't want to redirect onto that page, I just wanted to replace the URL.
Do you have suggestions what I should do?

I assume you've put those rules in the htaccess file in the F:/PHP folder. If so, then try adding a base:
RewriteBase /php/
RewriteRule ^((?:(user|admin|debug)/)?[a-z_/]+)/(?:([0-9]+)/)?$ index.php?page=$1&auth=$2&id=$3
If the rules are in the document root, then you need to include the path:
RewriteRule ^php/((?:(user|admin|debug)/)?[a-z_/]+)/(?:([0-9]+)/)?$ /php/index.php?page=$1&auth=$2&id=$3
