Using .htaccess to route to two different applications in codeigniter

Question

I have two codeigniter applications similar to this example. I've created two index.php files like the example says(the second one is named oglasnik.php). I want to call applications without the name of the file that calls the desired application.

I take this as an example for me. So the my .htaccess file right now is:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /PublishWall/
    DirectoryIndex indexl.php

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ indexl.php?/$1 [L]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^application.*
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ indexl.php?/$1 [L]

    RewriteCond $1 !^(indexl\.php|oglasnik\.php|images|robots\.txt)
    RewriteRule ^oglasnik$ oglasnik.php [L]

 </IfModule>

 <IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>

    ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
 </IfModule> 
php_value date.timezone "Europe/Ljubljana"
AddDefaultCharset utf-8

When I route to oglasnik I get 404 Page Not Found, shouldnt this rule:

RewriteRule ^oglasnik$ oglasnik.php [L]

rewrite it to oglasnik.php. When I go to oglasnik.php it works fine.

Also I am curios to find out how this routing actualy works. Does the rewritten url visit the .htacces file again, something I see in this answer.

The rewrite log:

In your oglasnik rule, the RewriteCond is checking against $1, the first character sequence captured in the RewriteRule -- but you don't capture anything there, so it's never true, hence the 404 error. Wrapping oglasnik in parantheses may give better results. As for the flow of mod_rewrite: check out the incredibly enlightening [flowchart](http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/images/rewrite_process_uri.png) and the [docs](http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/rewrite/tech.html#InternalRuleset). That flowchart is really, really a must-see. — SáT, Jan 30 '13 at 08:42
Thanks for the link of the flowchart. Though the parenthesses dont help. In the edit of the post I will add the rewrite log, of this rewriting. — Borut Flis, Jan 30 '13 at 22:38
I have found out that I actually reach the codeigniter application that I want but it goes to 404_override — Borut Flis, Jan 30 '13 at 22:44

You may want to try this one:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^(indexl\.php|oglasnik\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^oglasnik.*$ oglasnik.php?/$1 [L]
