Error 400 due to WordPress .htaccess restriction | Forum

My customer wants pretty links on wordpress so he has set up the following .htaccess file:


# BEGIN WordPress<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>RewriteEngine OnRewriteBase /RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-fRewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-dRewriteRule . /index.php [L]</IfModule>
# END WordPress


everything is fine until you try to access to Oxwall directory at http://bagua.ca/oxwall/ when you get a 404 error. I have nailed it down to Oxwall's .htaccess file line 


RewriteRule (.*) index.php


By removing this line, Oxwall comes up just fine, but there is no functionality in WordPress. If we remove the WordPress .htaccess file, we lose the pretty links. Customer had this working before we updated apache to 2.2.23, but now we can't seem to get around it. 


Any thoughts?
