Weird RewriteRule problem

@Randy Hoyt

I just watched all the RewriteRule videos from Randy Hoyt. I seem to be having a weird problem with the RewriteRule for adding a trailing backslash.

These are my rules, I modified them a bit, as I have everything in a subfolder caled Shirts4Mike:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^shirts/$ /Shirts4Mike/shirts/shirts.php
RewriteRule ^shirts/([0-9]+)/$ /Shirts4Mike/shirts/shirt.php?id=$1
RewriteRule ^receipt.php$ /Shirts4Mike/receipt/ [R=301]
RewriteRule ^contact.php$ /Shirts4Mike/contact/ [R=301]
RewriteRule ^shirts.php$ /Shirts4Mike/shirts/ [R=301]
RewriteRule ^(shirts/[0-9]+)$ /Shirts4Mike/$1/ [R=301]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([0-9]+)$
RewriteRule ^shirt.php$ /Shirts4Mike/shirt/%1/? [R=301]

Everything seems to be working, like when I go to http://localhost/Shirts4Mike/shirts/104 without the backslash, one gets added and I end up on the correct page.

Except JUST for the number 102, it doesn't work. When I go to: http://localhost/Shirts4Mike/shirts/102 I end up at: http://localhost/shirts/102/

Also when I remove all the rules from my .htaccess file, it keeps happening. What could possibly be causing this?

Try two things: Restart the web server. Clear the cache and history of the browser.
