More info about multiple RewriteEngine directives

Reworded a few bits, clarified, more explanation.
Dec 7, 2015 at 10:25 comment added MrWhite The DirectoryIndex is the file that is served when you request a bare directory. eg. When you request example.com/directory/, it will attempt to serve example.com/directory/index.php, by internally rewriting the request (the URL in the browser's address bar does not change). You don't necessarily need this in .htaccess unless you want to change the default, as it's usually defined in the Apache config. (Incidentally, the Apache default is DirectoryIndex index.html.) You can specify multiple files in this directive and they will be searched for in order.

Dec 7, 2015 at 9:22 comment added IXN I greatly appreciate it! I lost 3 hours till I found by trial and error that space was ruining my redirect. Never noticed the missing /. What does DirectoryIndex index.php do- is it needed?
