Q: Why is this simple rewrite falling to 500 server error? I have my own sandbox/testing system and I want to rewrite g/something to g/something.php
I used this very easy rewrite rule
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^g/(.*?)[^\.]+ g/$1.php [L]

Questions:

*

*How can I negate my rule? (It means that this rule will trigger only when requested file isn't ending with .php. I have tried (^\.php), (!\.php) but nothing worked, so I used [^\.].

*Why is this line throwing 500 Internal server error?

Error log:

A: ^g/(.*?)[^\.]+

matches your replacement, because it's e.g. g/test.php which is g/, then test.ph and then p which does not include a .. So the replacement is replaced again, etc. As a result, there is an overflow of redirects (look at the Apache error log).
You probably want:
^g/([^.]*?)$

since that matches g/, then anything without a dot, and then the end of the URL to make sure it matches the exact URL.

Twits Guides > Moving House > How Easy Is It To Do Your Own House Removals?
We all know that purchasing a new house is a huge expense – the cost of the house itself plus all the associated fees and moving expenses. Some of these costs can't be avoided – Stamp Duty Land Tax, for instance, is a set percentage of the cost of the home so there is no way to reduce that cost. But there are some ways that you can save money and perhaps the most obvious is the removal costs. According to the Ultimate Guide to Moving House doing your own house removals is the most popular way to save money because there is no risk of getting it wrong. After all it's just moving possessions from one place to another, right? Well, yes but be prepared for some serious hard work if you decide to do your own house removals.
Buy strong double-walled packing boxes in a range of sizes – you will need small ones for heavy items such as books so you can actually lift them when they are full.
Obtain a range of quotes for hiring a van and note that large items like mattresses and sofas can be stacked on their side to make best use of the height of the vehicle. Once you have decided which hire company to use pay a deposit to secure your hire but wait until the moving date os confirmed before confirming the van rental date.
Once your move is confirmed (even if you don't have a completion date) start packing anything you really don't need in the following few weeks. Packing can take much longer than you might imagine so start as soon as possible to take the pressure off. Starting early also gives you the opportunity to do some decluttering (check out the Ultimate Guide to Decluttering) so you are not moving junk that you don't really need..
Use plenty of bubble-wrap, newspaper or even towels and linen to wrap fragile items.
Use strong packing tape to secure your boxes.
Label boxes with new location by room and also the contents.
Pack a box of essentials for the first night: kettle, medicines, toilet roll etc.
Get up early, have a good breakfast and get started loading the van with the largest items of furniture. Secure sofas, wardrobes and mattresses to the sides of the van. If furniture items have doors or drawers then secure these closed, either by locking them or using string to hold them closed. Once all the furniture is stashed in the van start to load the heaviest boxes onto the floor of the van, with lighter boxes on top. Double check every item is secure and won't move around when the van is in motion.

He speaks of the comfort that their belief offers, and continues: "I thank God that you are living & that I have so near a prospect of meeting you again – how happy I shall be to see you & this feeling is strengthened from the fact that you will be the same regarding me."

Letter from George Davidson in Berlin, Ont. Dated 9 ½ o'clock, May 5, 1863 to his wife Margaret who is in Toronto: "The children have gone to bed, and so I sit down – all alone – to write you the promised letter – you will be enjoying yourself with Mrs. Manning over Schedam Sch[illegible] while I poor unfortunate am enjoying myself in thinking how comfortable it will be to go up to a cold bed, and nobody in it. I have just been up stairs Bob & Sandy are in bed the former at the front the latter at the back with space and an extra pillow between for Lizzie who has been managing the children and the affairs of the household at a great rate." He gives Margaret a list of cash payments to make – boys' board, clothes, but also ask her to bring home seed catalogues and stock. A postscript the next morning describes the state of affairs: "Wednesday morning 7 ½ O.C. we have slept and waked – thank God – Lizzie was up about ½ hour ago went down and put [kettle on], is however still in her nightgown sitting on the floor with Sandy playing Jackstones or something of that sort – Bob is up and takes this to the P.O. Very cold rainy morning GD."
Letter from George Davidson at 100-West 53 St., New York dated May 7, 1880 to his wife Margaret, thanking her for letters received: "I am glad you are well and more than glad that Lizzie has got those ugly teeth out & hope she will now be free from that horrid disease neuralgia." He is having treatments of various sorts for his legs in the hope that he can walk without crutches, treatments that he describes in great detail and mentions that he is rooming with his son Sandy, who adds a page at the end of the letter.
Letter from George Davidson in Toronto, dated June 26, 1879, to his wife Margaret, reporting on treatment he has received in Toronto on his leg, people he has seen and visited, and arrangements for getting home. He underlines "slang" words such as "chimbly" and "cracks" (jokes).

She goes on to say, "We at present are well supplied with Gospel ministers, I pray for us, that the Spirit may accompany their labours," and ends by sending love to Jane and Jessy and hopes all can visit or write.
Garden, John to Margaret, Jane, and Jessie Garden.
Letter to Margaret, Jane, and Jessie dated London, September 11, 1835 from their brother John Garden, in which he reports on the sad state of his health and wardrobe, asks for shirts and collars, but particularly for "flannel drawers and a surcoat."

Garden, Robert to Margaret, Jane, and Jessy Garden.
Partial letter from [Robert?] Garden dated London, 31 October, 1833, to "Dear Sisters," followed by a long disquisition on the proper response of women to changes in their circumstances: "It is the smile of contentment which ought to be on your lips even in the midst of the greatest difficulty." It is not made clear whether actual changes in circumstance in the financial or social standing Garden family are behind this well-meaning attempt to stave off discontent in the sisters. This is possibly from Garden sisters' brother Robert Garden.

She expresses her sorrow and sympathy, and also the effects of the technology of the telegram on her feelings: "This is the first telegram I have received across the Atlantic and somehow it seems to bring me nearer home than I have ever felt before. To think that I know today what happened with you yesterday and though the message brought sad news we are pleased you thought of telegraphing."

Letter from Maggie Kempt dated Wiston Manre [Manor?], Wiston, by Biggar, July 1, 1886 to her mother Margaret Davidson describing her daughter Florence's asthma, and thanking her mother for looking after her son George on his trip to Canada. She sends all the news of visitors from Canada and says of George: "I hope George will be able to go and see our old home when he is in Berlin. Do you know the people that have Forest-Hill? He has heard so much about it that he will be disappointed if he cannot get into the house. You will find George a great politician and a fearful Tory, but I hope he won't display his views too much among a lot of radicals. He says the Canadians are nearly all Radicals." In closing she says "this courting through the telephone must be a novel arrangement."
