    # every other rewrite/redirect fails (e.g. in an aliased environment without
    # mod_rewrite). Additionally, this reduces the matching process for the
    # start page (path "/") because otherwise Apache will apply the rewriting rules
    # to each configured DirectoryIndex file (e.g. index.php, index.html, index.pl).
