Q:

mod_rewrite adding unwanted file extension

I set up Phorum to use search-engine friendly URLs on my local server (Ubuntu Jaunty). It worked perfectly. Upon moving the site to the production server (Gentoo), I get 404 not found for all pages. The mod_rewrite logs below show the problem.

The same rules are being used on both installs:

RewriteEngine On

# READ RULES
RewriteRule ^([0-9]*)/([0-9]*)/([0-9]*)/([0-9a-zA-Z\-_=]*)/(.*)$ read.php?$1,$2,$3,$4
RewriteRule ^([0-9]*)/([0-9]*)/([0-9]*)/(.*)$ read.php?$1,$2,$3

RewriteRule ^([0-9]*)/([0-9]*)/([0-9a-zA-Z\-_=]*)/(.*)$ read.php?$1,$2,$3
RewriteRule ^([0-9]*)/([0-9]*)/(.*)$ read.php?$1,$2
RewriteRule ^([0-9]*)/([0-9]*)$ read.php?$1,$2

# DEFAULT RULES
RewriteRule ^([a-z]*)/([0-9]*)/([0-9a-zA-Z=_\-]*)/([0-9a-zA-Z=_\-]*)/([0-9a-zA-Z=_\-]*)$ $1.php?$2,$3,$4,$5
RewriteRule ^([a-z]*)/([0-9]*)/([0-9a-zA-Z=_\-]*)/([0-9a-zA-Z=_\-]*)$ $1.php?$2,$3,$4
RewriteRule ^([a-z]*)/([0-9]*)/([0-9a-zA-Z=_\-/:\.?]*)$ $1.php?$2,$3
RewriteRule ^([a-z]*)/([0-9]*)$ $1.php?$2
RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)$ $1.php

On my local server the rewrite rule behaves correctly:
