So I have the index.php in blog/ directory and in the same directory I have the images/ directory.

My .htaccess file is configured following way:

RewriteRule !\.(js|ico|txt|gif|jpg|png|css)$ index.php

How do I write this so that when I can write URL blog/images/myimage.jpg

Currently if I enter above URL the image return is faulty because essentially it goes through the index.php file.

.htaccess should look like this:

make sure that mod_rewrite is enabled (do the urls like http://localhost/app/controller/action work?)

sometimes .htacces seems to be ok but it has .txt extension (.htaccess.txt)

if that doesn't work, try creating new .htaccess in images directory
