php - Rewrite rule for subfolder

I have the file structure

   index.php
   .htaccess
   news/index.php
   news/.htaccess

first .htaccess:

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/news/
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

second (news/.htaccess)

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule . /index.php

Request http://test.t/news/news/61 the handles first index.php but I need to do it the second

I tried a few more options for the first .htaccess, but it did not succeed

Answer

Check your Apache config file (httpd.conf) and make sure the directory you are using for your site includes the AllowOverride option.

Example:

    Options All
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny

    Allow from all
