I am a little miffed by this one, the rules I am pretty sure are correct yet when using them in a .htaccess file they just won't apply.
The rules push everything through a dispatch.php which then handles my MVC views and controllers for me.

I am trying to introduce two URL path rewrites but for some reason it does not work as expected.
I am trying to rewrite:
/styles/democlient/main.css to _projects/democlient/public/styles/main.css in the first instance. The second 'styles' rule works as expected, only the first one doesn't.
I added LogLevel alert rewrite:trace6 to my Apache vhosts configuration to make it easier to track. It seems to me that when mod is reaching the first 'style' rule then it does not stop and for some reason tries to match it to the second one.

If you could help me find the reason, would be great.
You need to add a ^ before your styles RewriteRules and prevent your last RewriteRules to redirect physical files.

I have finished developing a micro app with Phalcon and tried to move it to production server, but have encountered some problems with .htaccess rules.
Directory layout on the serwer is like this :
/var/www
|- .htaccess
|- redmine/
|- wordpress/
|- (other dirs)
|- MyApp/
|- .htaccess
|- public/
|- .htaccess
|- api.php
/var/www/.htaccess :
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(redmine|MyApp) [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
/var/www/MyApp/.htaccess :
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.gif|\.jpg|\.png|\.mp3|\.ods|\.csv|\.xls)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ public/ [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.gif|\.jpg|\.png|\.mp3|\.ods|\.csv|\.xls)$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) public/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
/var/www/MyApp/public/.htaccess :
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ api.php?_url=/$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
I'm really new to all this. The top-most .htaccess was not setup by me, and frankly I don't know what is going on in there. The others are based on Phalcon tutorials.
Everything worked on my local machine, but stopped when I uploaded it. I turned on logging in both places.

The differences begin with the first line with [perdir (...)] ending with /public/. I don't understand why it adds .php and why the !-f rule doesn't match on the remote server.
Local server :
OSX 10.9.3, MAMP 3.0.4, Apache 2.2.26
Remote server :
Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.9, Apache 2.2.16
I wonder whether this is caused by the additional .htaccess file on the remote, or by the difference in Apache version.
I'd appreciate some explanation as to what's going on and any directions on where to look for answers.
Cheers!
This looks like it may be caused by multiviews. In both htaccess files inside MyApp, add this (above your rules, but anywhere is fine):
Options -Multiviews
Note that because api.php exists, a PATH INFO url like: /MyApp/api.php/something will fail the !-f check.
I've got the following in my .conf file used for cache busting js:
<Directory "/www/virtual/site/html/js/">
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^\d+\/(.+)$ $1 [L]
</Directory>
The idea here is to rewrite site.com/js/123456/script.js to site.com/js/script.js
(The rewriting works just fine)
If I look at the rewrite log the part I'm not understanding is that it is applying the RewriteRule to the script after the interal redirect... Shouldn't the %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f prevent it from processing the RewriteRule since the file exists?

mod_rewrite (by design) keeps on applying rewrite-rules, till the url no longer changes.
So the first time it rewrite 1234/script.js to script.js the second time it tries to apply the rule, the pattern regular expression doesn't match and script.js is 'passed through'.
This is the way it is supposed to work. It can sometimes be a pain, but it makes mod_rewrite a lot more powerful/useful.
edit
mod_rewite first tests the RewriteRule pattern, before trying to apply the RewriteCond's. This is so you can use backreferences $0, $1 etc. in your RewriteCond. After all the RewriteCond's it will create the substitution string, so it can also use backrefereces %0, %1. etc. See also the diagram below.
So this is why it tried to apply the pattern before testing if the file exists.
My ubuntu localhost mod_rewrite is acting funky. I'm trying to rewrite the url:
mydomain.com/random/50/post-title-here/
to:
mydomain.com/random.php?id=50
using the rewrite rule:

RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^random/([0-9]+)$ random.php?id=$1
I can't for the life of me see how that simple rule could be matched wrong, but it just isn't working as you can see from the rewrite log that I've cleaned up and presented here.

Any ideas stack?
The $ meta-character means "assert end of subject", so your URL will not match unless it doesn't have anything else after the digits.
What causes the querystring to be split out and what
causes /news/50 to be appended in the second run (as an effect of the next flag N).
The behaviour I'm after is to rewrite /about/news/50/ to /about/news/news-item?post_id=50.
I add the N flag since I want to send the rewritten uri /about/news/news-item?post_id=50 to index.php.
I have the following rules in my .htaccess file:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^about/news/(\d+)/$ /about/news/news-item?post_id=$1 [QSA,N]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

Try the DPI (Discard PATH_INFO flag) if you rewrite a URL that had PATH_INFO stripped from it and don't want it added back on. It's a problem with per-directory rewrites
edit: if you do this, since wordpress counts on the PATH_INFO, you'd have to actually rewrite to /index.php/about/news/... to let the next round still see PATH_INFO.
RewriteRule ^about/news/(\d+)/$ /index.php/about/news/news-item?post_id=$1 [DPI,L]
instead of
RewriteRule ^about/news/(\d+)/$ index.php [DPI,L]
