Registration of mod_rewrite rules "The configuration variable $ {REQUEST_URI} is not defined" for each request

Question

I have the following .htaccess on an Apache / 2.4.2-win32 server:

# Turn mod_rewrite on RewriteEngine On # Allow direct loading of files in the static directory RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f RewriteRule ^/?static/(.+)$ - [L] # Send all other requests to controller RewriteCond ${REQUEST_URI} !^/?(spf/index\.php)?$ RewriteRule .* spf/index.php [L,QSA] 

It works well and does exactly what I want. For those of you who cannot worry about what he is doing, he sends all requests through spf/index.php if they are not for a file that exists in the static directory.

The file is located in the documentroot virtual host.

Each request that gets through this .htaccess generates the following error:

 [Wed Aug 01 14:14:16.549835 2012] [core:warn] [pid 7100:tid 1076] AH00111: Config variable ${REQUEST_URI} is not defined 

In fact, this does not cause a problem - each request works as expected, but it fills my error log, and I do not like it.

According to Google , no one has had this error before. That, as far as I got with debugging, I really don't know where to go next.

Has anyone understood what is going on here?

PS I know that this may be a question more suitable for SF, if the general opinion is that it does not belong here, I will translate it.

You need to replace $ with % :

 RewriteCond ${REQUEST_URI} !^/?(spf/index\.php)?$ 

to

 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/?(spf/index\.php)?$
