rewriteCond REQUEST_FILENAME does not work - .htaccess

My .htaccess is so simple and it is already working fine in another server, but I have problem with my 1and1 server. if I call a pdf file from my server, both RewriteCond is not working at all.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?load=$1 [QSA,L]
Thanks in advance.

Use .htaccess file to check folder for file and redirect if not found

I want to use .htaccess files so that if someone visits an old URL on our new website such as website.com/oldpage.asp .htaccess first checks to see if website.com/oldsite/oldpage.asp is on our server. And if no file is there redirect them to old.website.com/oldpage.asp where a copy of our old website exists.
For some reason only the .htaccess file in the /oldsite/ folder is executing.
Here is my .htaccess file for my site root which checks if the file exists on the new site and if not redirects to /oldsite/
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /oldsite/$1 [NC,QSA,L]
Then in /oldsite/ its supposed to check if the file again exists, and if not redirect again.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteOptions inherit
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://old.website.com/$1 [R=301,NC,QSA,L]

You don't need 2 .htaccess for this.
Have this rule in site root .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/oldsite/$1 -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ oldsite/$1 [NC,QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://old.website.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Then remove /oldsite/.htaccess and test this after clearing your browser cache.

Redirect all requests to index.php and clean the URL

I was wondering if it's possible to redirect all requests to files/directories that do not exist to index.php, and after that clean the url.
So when I go to www.example.com/test/1 I want it to be redirected (rewrote?) to www.example.com
I tried the following and it does correctly load index.php, but it still says www.example.com/test/1 in the URL bar...
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [L]
Of course I still want my css and js to load properly...

Try this. If I understand, you want to use this as a way of redirecting a 404 not found?
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [R=301,L]
Or maybe this without index.php
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ / [R=301,L]

htaccess code for custom directory rewrite

right now i currently have this script that's working
.htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /profile.php?username=$1
and this does exactly what i want. it displays:
example.com/userid
instead of
example.com/profile.php?username=userid
but now im trying to implement another aspect like this. im trying to have:
example.com/c/1234
instead of
example.com/c/postpage.php?link=1234
the directory seems to be messing with my .htaccess code and i cant even get close to it working.
any advice is welcome.

Try to change the source of your .htaccess file with this code:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)$ /profile.php?username=$1
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^c/([^/]+)$ /c/postpage.php?link=$1

codeigniter htaccess with multiple applications

I am using codeigniter. I have front end application and backend application like
/system/
/application/
/front/
/admin/
index.php
admin.php
.htaccess
I want my url like http://example.com/news/article1 (for site)
http://example.com/news/admin (for admin)
In .htaccess I have written
RewriteEngine On
# If the user types just "admin".
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/admin$ admin\.php [L,QSA]
# If the user enter in any admin section, like "admin/section".
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/admin\/(.*)$ admin\.php/$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
the front end is working fine but when I enter mydomain.com/admin it is throwing 404 not found error. Please help me.
Thanks and regards

I'm not that good with .htaccess, but from the CI website, you can use this for your .htaccess rule
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
and then use routes to rewrite your urls. Much easier than trying to do it in .htaccess files

mod_rewrite won't remove file extensions with other rewrite rule in place

I have the following mod_rewrite within my .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([0-9a-zA-Z]+)$ index.php?ID=$1 [QSA,NC,L,R]
The code above works but the issue is several of the pages on my site link to files without extensions because our original .htaccess file removed all extensions from every request. My site is built on PHP. Ultimately I want to use the rules above exactly as is but at the end of it all, i want to strip the file extension (.php) from every request.
Is this possible?

Try this
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^index.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.php$ $1 [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([0-9a-zA-Z]+)$ index.php?ID=$1 [QSA,NC,L,R]
