apache mod_rewrite - rewrite rule - apache

Question

i have a problem with an mod rewrite rule in the WOULD NOT WORK area :)
I have an Project site witch is just an ajax return site.
So i like to open my site on sitename.com/my-test/project/test.html and would have a rewrite to sitename.com/my-test/project.html?index=test.
I know after my rewrite the rewrite rules of the cms must going his work. Im not sure maybe this is the problem and they cross or crash.
If i browse the URLs via browser all will work just fine, only the rewrite rule would not work and i become total crazy and cant find the problem.
So i hope someone can help me.
REWRITE CONFIG in .htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
#### WOULD NOT WORK ######
# REWRITE AJAX PROJEKT
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}% ^my-test/projects/[a-zA-Z0-9]+\.html$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^my-test/projects/[a-zA-Z0-9]+\.html my-test/projects.html?index=$1
### WORK CORRECTLY ####
# REWRITE RULE FOR SEO FRIENDLY IMAGE MANAGER URLS
RewriteRule ^files[0-9]*/imagetypes/([^/]*)/([^/]*) index.php?rex_img_type=$1&rex_img_file=$2
# DON'T REWRITE IF REAL FILE, FOLDER OR SYMLINK EXISTS
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
# EXCLUDE SPECIFIC FOLDERS FROM REWRITE ENGINE
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/files[0-9]*/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/assets/.*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/media/.*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/redaxo/.*
# REWRITE ALL OTHER REQUESTS TO INDEX.PHP
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
and i also have tested
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}% ^/my-test/projects/[a-zA-Z0-9]+\.html$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/my-test/projects/[a-zA-Z0-9]+\.html my-test/projects.html?index=$1
#OR JUST
RewriteRule ^/my-test/projects/[a-zA-Z0-9]+\.html$ my-test/projects.html?index=$1
#OR
RewriteRule ^/my-test/projects/(.*)$ my-test/projects.html?index=$1
#AND CORRECT
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/my-test/projects/[a-zA-Z0-9]+\.html$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/my-test/projects/[a-zA-Z0-9]+\.html my-test/projects.html?index=$1
#AND ---
RewriteRule ^my-test/projects/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)\.html my-test/projects.html?index=$1 [L]
I dont find the answer, so i realy hope someone can help me

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}% ^my-test/projects/[a-zA-Z0-9]+\.html$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^my-test/projects/[a-zA-Z0-9]+\.html my-test/projects.html?index=$1
You have an extra % at the end of your condition: %{REQUEST_URI}%. That means it must be the request URI followed by a %, and you text on the right ends with html, which means this condition will always fail.
Additionally, the %{REQUEST_URI} variable starts with a /. Note that the leading slash is gone when used to match the pattern in the rewrite rule.
You actually don't need the condition at all.
RewriteRule ^my-test/projects/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)\.html my-test/projects.html?index=$1 [L]
