/question/.htaccess

RewriteRule ^question/are-bitcoin-gains-taxable/?$ /pages/questions/viewQuestion.php?id=9 [L]
So what I’m trying to do is separate my htaccess into directories, this current setup is producing /404 error /pages/questions/viewQuestion.php? does exist, I just think its not reading the second .htaccess , Thanks for any help.
>Solution :
You don’t need anything in root .htaccess for this and just a RewriteCond by itself isn’t doing anything anyway.
You just need to have this rule in /question/.htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^are-bitcoin-gains-taxable/?$ /pages/questions/viewQuestion.php?id=9 [L,NC,QSA]
URI paths in RewriteRule are relative to the directory where .htaccess is located so question/ won’t be matched here.
