Send all requests to a single script with mod_rewrite

This is what I have in my Apache .htaccess file that sends all requests to my CMS. It checks first if the request is for an actual file or directory, and if it's not it forwards everything to "dispatcher.php"

RewriteEngine On



#if the request isn't for a file or a directory...

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . dispatcher.php

Egads! What a perfect set of rewrite rules! With a little modification, this is exactly what I need for a project I'm working on. Thanks!

I have very similiar rule in my cms

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

There is only one problem with that.
I installed some scripts few weeks ago and authorization in admin panel was made with .htaccess & .htpasswd - and it didnt work because of the rewrite conditions above ... looks like apache didnt recognize admin/ directory in those scripts as directory, huh ;/

http://example.com/ - main page, .htaccess with rewrite rules here
http://example.com/script/admin/ - admin panel in 3rd party scripts
