URL rewrite for admin exclude directory - .htaccess

I have a URL rewrite setup to create nice URLs
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^\/*(index\.php|blog|admin\/assets|site\/assets|robots.txt|sitemap.xml|products.xml|favicon\.ico)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?rq=$1 [L,QSA]
When I access the admin area with /admin the URL is rewritten as /admin/?rq=admin because I have a root level directory named "admin". It's probably pretty simple, but how can I edit (or add to) my .htaccess rules so that the url is written cleanly as /admin/
UPDATE:
To clarify, I want to access /admin using /index.php?rq=admin and not by calling the /admin/index.php
Here is my apache virtualhost config:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin alex
ServerName hub
ServerAlias hub
DocumentRoot /var/www/hub/
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/hub>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"
<Directory "/usr/share/doc/">
Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Just add the admin folder to the list of exceptions in your RewriteCond. Now, you have exception for admin/assets so you can delete the assets part and leave the exception for the whole admin folder like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^\/*(index\.php|blog|admin|site\/assets|robots.txt|sitemap.xml|products.xml|favicon\.ico)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?rq=$1 [L,QSA]

It seems that added DirectorySlash Off in my .htaccess did the trick. Not sure if this is the correct workaround but it solved my particular problem. I had to make sure to clear my cache fully to prevent cached redirects (thanks Kamil)
In Chrome: Chrome-> Tools -> Clear Browsing Data -> Empty the Cache

django.urls.base.get_script_prefix returns incorrect prefix when executed by apache

Python-3.8/Django-3.2/Mezzanine-6.0 application tries to access incorrect pages when executed by apache. In standalone mode (python manage.py runserver) it creates correct address /admin/page_types/basicpage/2677/change/ whereas in apache mode it creates address /admin/page_types/basi/admin/pages/page/2677/change/ in the same place.
Edit:
It seems to be the get_script_prefix() function in django/urls/base.py that returns incorrect prefix when accessing page 2677 in apache mod_wsgi daemon mode. In embedded mode the fault does not happen.
I don't even uderstand how this fuction call return getattr(_prefixes, "value", '/') can work as the _prefixes object does not have attribute named "value".
The _prefixes object comes from asgiref:
from asgiref.local import Local
_prefixes = Local()
Furthermore: why does django use asgiref also when not not excuted using ASGI https://asgi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ ?

first you check the server configuration. you can use apache error log to find server related issue.
then check error log of application.
In database.php check the
'dbdriver' => 'mysqli',
because newest Lamp not supported
'dbdriver' => 'mysql',

.htaccess not working on new Debian 8 setup

So I've just set up Debian 8 on a new server, enabled a2enmod and restarted. However my links aren't working, and when I try to go in to sites-available and default I have this:

I'm trying to change None to all, however this is still not working and is giving an error below:
Not Found
The requested URL /tos was not found on this server.
Can anyone help out on this please?
When I change them to All instead of None, it just reloads the homepage?
What if you change AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All ?
I know this is 20 months late, but in case someone else looks for an answer here, maybe you just need to restart the server.
something like:
sudo service apache2 graceful

I've copied htaccess.txt to .htaccess. When I activate friendly URL and URL rewriting, I get 404 errors.
I've uncommented this lines in .htaccess, but still does not work:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
I also tried to change rewritebase to
RewriteBase /mysite
with no luck.
What I'm doing wrong?
No sure if this is the issue you are experiencing, but I have experienced that rewriting does not work well on "localhost". Try and change your hosts file to say
127.0.0.1 mysite.local
And then access it on that url.
Not sure if that will work but it is worth a try.
Solved!
I had a conflict with different entries in /etc/apache2/sites-available.
When I create a new site at localhost, I copy default to mysite, and modify the mysite file to point to it's DocumentRoot.
I don't know exactly why, but if I disable default site:
sudo a2dissite default
it works.
Maybe this does'nt solve the question, but I prefer to issue another question more specific to this problem, because I've tested and it's related to different sites enabled and one or more with RewriteEngine enabled.

Problems with configuring Apache for mobile website

I am having some trouble with configuring Apache for a website that has both a normal and mobile version. The idea was to redirect the user with a mobile browser automatically to the mobile version and if someone on a normal desktop PC is trying to connect to the mobile version to redirect it to the normal website.
Right now it redirects a mobile user to the mobile website correctly. But it is seems to be unable to redirect the other way to the desktop version. Also, when you go to the mobile version of the website, it displays the default "It works!" page instead of the mobile index page for some reason..
Here is all the configuration that I used. Hopefully someone is able to help me out with this. Thanks in advance!

Ok - so you are trying to do content negotiation here and you are regexing on the user agent. Aside from the rewrtile rules you have, you need to consider the following:
Using the Apache Mobile Filter instead of a Regex. It is more accurate and provides a greater range of features
You should allow users to choose the representation/experience that they want. So if you are presenting them with the mobile version, then you should let them choose the desktop version instead since this might actually have been what they wanted; and vice versa.
This could be for a plethora of reasons e.g they have bookmarks to the desktop, someone shared a url to the desktop version etc. etc. Your content negotiation technique is pretty basic and doesn't take into consideration any of these use cases.
Having considered this, specific to your problems above:
Try removing the quotes from your RewriteCond patterns and add the R=302 and L flag to make sure now other rewrite directives are executed. i.e:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !(android|blackberry|googlebot- mobile|iemobile|ipad|iphone|ipod|opera mobile|palmos|webos) [NC,R=302,L]
Secondly its likely that you are seeing the default desktop "it works" because you are testing on a desktop browser and being redirected to the desktop host.
Slight tangent, in response to William Greenly's
"Since your DNS is not externally resolvable, then you won't be able to use your mobile phone to test."
FYI Pagekite (http://pagekite.net/) makes it easy to expose localhost to the net, in order to facilitate testing stuff on your dev machine from your phone.
HTH someone out there.
