I have a stat script installed at /stat and zenphotos is installed at root.

couple of days ago i could access the stat directory fine but i recently updated apache (2.2) and php (5.2.6) and now i can't seem to access the stat directory unless i disable mod_rewrite.

The zenphoto is installed in root that is at http://domain.com and the stat is installed at http://domain.com/stat

I get the 404 page if i open the stat page when mod_rewrite is on.

My .htaccess file is

[cpde]

htaccess file version 1.1.6.0

Update the above and the define in setup.php when you make changes to the rewrite rules!

NOTE: Change the RewriteBase below to the absolute path to your zenphoto directory. (Or let setup.php do it for you!)

RewriteEngine On

!!! Change this to the web path (eg: http://www.yourwebsite.com/photos --> /photos) !!!

RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^admin/?$ zp-core/admin.php [R,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^albums/?(.+/?)?$ $1 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [R,L]

RewriteRule index.php$ index.php [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^page/([0-9]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^page/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ index.php?p=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^(.)page/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ index.php?album=$1&p=$2 [L,QSA]

Rewrite rule addtion for search

RewriteRule ^page/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/fields([0-9]+)/(.*)/([0-9]+)/?$ index.php?p=$1&searchfields=$2&words=$3&page=$4 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^page/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/fields([0-9]+)/(.)/?$ index.php?p=$1&searchfields=$2&words=$3 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^page/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/(.*)/([0-9]+)/?$ index.php?p=$1&words=$2&page=$3 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^page/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/(.*)/?$ index.php?p=$1&words=$2 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^(.)/image/(thumb|[0-9]{1,4})/([^/\]+)$ zp-core/i.php?a=$1&i=$3&s=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^(.)/image/([^/\]+)$ zp-core/i.php?a=$1&i=$2 [L,QSA]

Catch-all - everything else gets handled in PHP for compatibility.

RewriteRule ^(.*)/?$ index.php?album=$1 [L,QSA]

[/code]

If you run Zenphoto 1.2.1 that is not the correct .htaccess file which should read version 1.2.1.3.

Anyway the fix is most likely to change
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [R,L]
to
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [L]

I am running zenphoto 1.2 not 1.2.1

I changed what you told, still same problem.

The rewrite rule acrylian mentions is the one that should be letting you access your /stat folder. However, the rule basically says "if a file or folder by the name of the request exists, just use the request". So, maybe there is a problem with the case of the request or maybe the exact file does not exist.
