.htaccess subdomain Rewrite rule is not working - .htaccess

I am making a website builder an I would like to make urls prettier.
The url would be for example:
https://ccc-bb.example.com => https://example.com/project/show/ccc/bb
This is my .htaccess file:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
# prevents files starting with dot to be viewed by browser
RewriteRule /\.|^\.(?!well-known/) - [F]
# front controller
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)\-(.*)$ https://example.com/project/show/$1/$2 [L]
When I use above (https://ccc-bb.example.com) it sends me to the subdomain empty folder. The folder has only the .htaccess file.
What am I missing? I've never edited an .htaccess file and Google didn't help me (or I don't know what should I looking for).

Your first rule for dotfiles is okay but would be better the other way around, since the second part can only match the start, but the first can only match in subdirectories.
RewriteRule ^\.(?!well-known/)|/\. - [F]
Your other rule's problem is that you are expecting it to match the subdomain. RewriteRules do not operate on the entire string you see in your browser's address bar, only the path part, and in .htaccess they see even less as the leading directory is stripped off, too. To access the info you want, use a RewriteCond:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^-]++)-([^-.]++)\.example\.com$
RewriteRule ^(?!project/show/).* project/show/%1/%2/$0 [L,DPI]
(You don't need to include \.example\.com$ if your main domain contains no hyphens.)

mode_rewrite (.htaccess) wrong outcome

I'm not sure what's wrong. I use massively rewrite on to domain with various rules with no problem, now here on subdomain the rewritten result point wrong data.
The space is accessible from multiple domains, and I want to switch by hostname to specific subfolder for CSS contents:
RewriteEngine on
# - - - shared space / multiple css.*.tld subdomains - - -
# domain 1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^css\.firstdomain\.com$
RewriteRule ^css/(.*)$ fir/$1
# domain 2
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^css\.seconddomain2\.com$
RewriteRule ^css/(.*)$ sec/$1
# *.min.css -> scss.php?file=*
RewriteRule ^(.+)\.min\.css$ scss.php?scss=$1 [QSA]
#
First there are rules to rewrite universal /css/ path to path specific for files for that host, then last line should change *.min.css to scss.php?scss=$1 - so it send the file /without the extension .min.css/ as parameter to php file which then searches for that file with .scss extension to check last modified and either return cached or recompile the source scss file to cached css file
Now I'd expect when I enter: http://css.firstdomain.com/css/first/first.min.css
should rewrite to: http://css.firstdomain.com/scss.php?file=fir/first/first.min.css
but it rewrites to: http://css.firstdomain.com/scss.php?file=fir/first/first.min.css/first/first
So it rewrites it like almost twice for some reason. What might be the reason for this?
There will be problem of some kind with the firs part as entering straight http://css.firstdomain.com/fir/first/first.min.css
rewrites to correct (scss.php?file=fir/first/first).
Oooh found it! I missed the [L] (last) flag after rules for each domain, now it works like it should
For completeness, here is the code:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^css\.firstdomain\.com$
RewriteRule ^css/(.*)$ fir/$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(.+)\.min\.css$ scss.php?scss=$1 [QSA,L]

htaccess: remove extension, and redirect to index.php?p=<page>

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)?$ index.php?page=$1 [L]
I've got the previous code that rewrites ex: domain.com/about to domain.com/index.php?page=about
So now, I want to add a measure of safety to that just in case someone adds .html or .php to the end thinking it should be there, I want it to remove the extension, but still follow my previous rule. I want this change to ignore if the file actually exists. If the file exists, it needs to still process the ending.
ex:
if someone types in about.php or about.html, I want it to remove the extension, and then process whats left to the rewrite rule above.
So about.php will rewrite to about and then rewrite to index.php?page=about
If at all possible, I'd like for it to actually change the URL to domain.com/about. Right now, the above rewrite leaves the domain.com/about but just processes it through index.php. I would love it if they enter about.php or about.html it would redirect the browser to domain.com/about .
Any way possible to achieve this? I've looked around at removing file extension with htaccess, but none of them do what I want with redirecting to index.php?page=. They all want to redirect differently.
EDIT
I need this to be universal. It can't just process 'about', I need it to process anything in that specific spot.
If this is not a directory or a file, and it has an extension, then redirect without extension:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)?$ index.php?page=$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)\..*$ $1 [R=301,L]

htaccess - rewrite URL to make querystring nice

I have a site with a folder, and a htaccess file within that folder. For the index.php file within that folder, I want to rewrite the querystring for a certain parameter, so that typing in this URL:
www.example.com/myfolder/myparameter
Behaves like this (ie makes $_GET['parameter'] = 'myparameter' in my code)
www.example.com/myfolder/index.php?parameter=myparameter
I have looked at many questions on StackOverflow, but have not managed to get this working. My code so far is
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*) [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ %0 [QSA]
But that just isn't working at all.
Please use this code
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) index\.php?parameter=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (^.*/)([^/]+)$ $1index\.php?parameter=$2 [L,QSA]
update
sorry use #somasundaram's answer. Per-directory .htaccess rewrite rules lose the directory prefix:
When using the rewrite engine in .htaccess files the per-directory prefix (which always is the same for a specific directory) is automatically removed for the RewriteRule pattern matching and automatically added after any relative (not starting with a slash or protocol name) substitution encounters the end of a rule set. See the RewriteBase directive for more information regarding what prefix will be added back to relative substitutions.
(from the apache docs)

htaccess query. 2 rewrites rules for 2 home pages

I'm hoping someone might be able to help with a problem I'm having due to my lack of experience and knowledge with htaccess.
What we're doing is running IP Boards forum software and wordpress both in the root directory. The IPB has the index.php file (because of having indexed url's) and the new Wordpress's index.php file has been renamed to blog.php.
At the very top of the htaccess file we've added: DirectoryIndex blog.php index.php - so the new wordpress opens first.
The problem I'm having is trying to have 2 rewriterules in the htaccess file for the friendly urls from the forum software and also the permalinks for the new wordpress.
I can only seem to have one or the other.
Please could anyone tell me, or point me in the right direction to get both working.
This is what I'm doing so far but sadly no joy, but works fine if we remove one of the condition and rewrites.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog.php [L]
</IfModule>
Many thanks in advance.
Not sure if you still want an answer. Either way, if you are trying to go to two different pages you need some way of distinguishing them.
DirectoryIndex basically tells the default file (and order) when entering a directory. So http://host.com/ with both blog.php and index.php in the directory will serve up blog.php because it is first in the list you gave the server. If there is only index.php, it will serve that. If neither (and you don't have anything else in the list) it will throw a 404 because no default file is found.
EDIT: it will try to list contents if not found. My bad. If you don't allow directory listing, then it will probably show an error code. To turn off directory listing look in options: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/core.html#options
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_dir.html
Your rewrite rules seem to kind of want do the same thing in a different order. If you request http://host.com/a and a is not a file or directory (according to the conditions) it will go to index.php.. if index.php doesn't exist, then it will loop until the server catches it, because you don't check that. So, that means the second set of conditions don't do anything, because either index.php exists or it doesn't and the next set probably won't really be reached unless it does.
You need to decide how to differentiate the two (/blog/ for the blog.php and / for index.php or something) and make one of them the default. If you want to randomize it, I would suggest doing that through PHP.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html
.. to redirect from root to /forums/ through htaccess try this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/forums/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /forums/$1 [L]

ignore specific directories in htaccess using mod_rewrite

I've got the following code in my .htaccess to strip out index.php from the urls in my CMS-based site.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
This code works great and it routes requests exactly how I want. For example, with URL: http://example.com/contact/ the directory contact doesn't actually exist if you look in the FTP; instead index.php handles the request and shows my contact info. Perfect. Well, almost perfect.
I want to modify this code to specify a couple directories in FTP that should be ignored. For example, if I've got a folder called assets, when I go to http://example.com/assets/ the default DirectoryIndex page is displayed. Instead, I want this directory to be ignored -- I want index.php to handle /assets/.
TL;DR: How can I modify the above code to explicitly ignore certain existing directories (so that index.php handles them instead of the DirectoryIndex)?
Why not adding this below or before your code?
RewriteRule ^(assets/.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
