HTAccess ReWrite Rules Conflicting? - php

Question

I have two re-write rules one as a vanity url so for example domain.com/url and one to edit some a data aka post.
For some reason only the first rule is taking place and not both
Why is that and how can I fix it??
Here's The Code
RewriteEngine On
# Make sure you only match on files/directories that don't actually exist
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteBase /
# Rewrite the first part after the `/` into a `username` parameter
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ groups/index.php?gname=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^edit/id/([0-9]+)/?$ groups/view_update.php?pid=$1 [NC,QSA,L]

Answer 1

RewriteCond is only applicable to very next RewriteRule not to all the RewriteRule. Also change order of your rules.
Change your code to this:
RewriteEngine On
# Make sure you only match on files/directories that don't actually exist
RewriteBase /
# Rewrite the first part after the `/` into a `username` parameter
# skip all rewrite rules for file or directories
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^edit/id/([0-9]+)/?$ groups/view_update.php?pid=$1 [NC,QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ groups/index.php?gname=$1 [L,QSA]
