mod_rewrite problem

I would like to rewrite this:

http://www.domain.name/first/second/third?name=value

To this:

http://www.domain.name/index.php/first/second/third?name=val ue

I am inserting "index.php/" after the domain name.

But I don't want to rewrite the URLs for

a) Files with extension css|gif|jpg|js + others
b) URLs starting with "http://www.domain.name/fourms/"
c) URLs starting with "http://www.domain.name/wiki/"

I am then using php to grab data form the URL ($first=first,
$second=second)

Mod_Rewrite is new to me. From reading the Apache manual I can see it
can be done but
just can't work it out!

Here's what I' trying:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI] !^/forms
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI] !^/wiki
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI] !\.(gif|jpg|css|js|php|pdf|xml|txt)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index/%1

And the error from the log:

Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable
configuration error. Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the
limit if
necessary. Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace

Thanks for any help

You also need to exempt URLs that already have "index" in place. That
is where you are looping.

try
1. adding a condition to exclude urls that already start with /index (per jim
hayter)
2. did you mean to exclude /forms or /forums, or both?
3. changing %1 to $1 in your substitution string.
4. use qsappend in the RewriteRule to retain any query string

it could look like this, untested:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI] !^/(foru?ms|wiki|index)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI] !\.(gif|jpg|css|js|php|pdf|xml|txt)$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) /index/$1 [last,qsappend]
