I’m attempting to have all old URL’s on a site a redesigned be forwarded to the new URL’s I created via MODx, and am having problems authoring the proper RewriteRule to do it. I tried the following, but this didn’t work, rendering my pages without a stylesheet. Anyone familiar with a way to redirect all .php files to .html without affecting the MODx RewriteRule required for friendly URL’s?

Here’s the rule I was trying to implement (excuse my poor RegEx knowledge)...
```
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

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

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

Try this. I was out partying last night, so I need to have another look at this later today I guess
```
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index.php$
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.php$ /$1.html [L]

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
```
This should rewrite all .php requests except to /index.php to .html and then taken care of by MODx by index.php.
