That's good to hear.

Yes.

Filenames that start with a dot, yes.

I'm not sure what exactly you mean by that. A request for /file that
does not exist will be handled by the fastcgi server processing index.php.

*any* php request. So if you ask for /index.php directly, you will get 404.

If it shows what you want and hides what you want, it is probably right.

A minor thing is that the ^.+ in the final regex location is probably
unnecessary.

That sounds like a php error. Does the same thing happen when the
application is run in its "native" environment of apache/mod_php? Or
in the apache/fastcgi environment? If not, you could investigate the
differences.

I suspect you're more likely to get useful on the application mailing list.

Good luck with it,
