[users@httpd] Need a mod-rewrite rule for a website's home page

[David Blomstrom]

I have a content management system that uses mod-rewrite rules for various sections. For example, the page mysite/About/index.php uses the following mod-rewrite rule:

RewriteRule ^About/([a-zA-Z0-9_/-]+)/?$ About/index.php?bout=$1 [L]

It displays URL's like mysite/About/Webmaster and mysite/About/Search.

I've finally figured out how to apply a mod-rewrite rule to my site's home page...

RewriteRule ^/?([-a-zA-Z0-9_/]+)/?$ /index.php?home=$1 [L]

It displays URL's like mysite/Arizona and mysite/Africa.

The problem is that it apparently interferes with my other mod-rewrite rules. I can't display mysite/About/Webmaster unless I delete the home page rewrite rule. Does anyone know how to make the following rewrite rules compatible, or can you suggest alternative rewrite rules that will work together?

RewriteRule ^/?([-a-zA-Z0-9_/]+)/?$ /index.php?home=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^About/([a-zA-Z0-9_/-]+)/?$ About/index.php?bout=$1 [L]

Thanks.
