I am developing a php website. I also have wordpress for blog and event calendar plugin capabilities. I recently moved the hatccess and index.php files for wordpress to the root directory so that the permalinks appear to come from the root. My problem is that the new website also has an index.php and htaccess file. I recently renamed the website to home.php and combined the htaccess files and added a DirectoryIndex line for both home.php and index.php. It works in Internet Explorer, but then when I reload a page on Firefox or Chrome, it gives a page not found.

Internet Explorer displays http://www.mydomain.com/#./page
Firefox and Chrome display http://www.mydomain.com/page

Wordpress HTACCESS(on the root):
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^dancetonightohio.com$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/www\.dancetonightohio\.com\/" [R=301,L]

New website HTACCESS:
Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI -Indexes

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On

## uncomment the following line, if you are having trouble
## getting no_script_name to work
#RewriteBase /

## remove trailing slash
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.+)/$
#RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ $1 [R=301,L]

## turn off index.html, it is for offline mode
RewriteRule ^.*index.html$ index.php [QSA]

## no, so we redirect to our front web controller
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

This is what I combined them as:
DirectoryIndex home.php index.php

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
#RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ $1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain.com$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/www\.mydomain\.com\/" [R=301,L]
# END WordPress

It works in Internet Explorer, but then when I reload a page on Firefox or Chrome, it gives a page not found.

.htaccess directives run on the server, so all browsers should get the same result (unless you do browser sniffing in the .htaccess file, which does not appear to be the case).

Internet Explorer displays http://www.mydomain.com/#./page

The part after the # looks like a hashbang, which is normally used together with javascript/Ajax. Maybe some script causes the browser differences.

I don't dare to advice on the actual .htaccess directives, but none of them seem to redirect to the hashbang URL.

Would anyone know how to properly combine these two htaccess files? Or should my combined file work?
