can't access subdir after changing htaccess

[eluser]hcvitto[/eluser]
Hi
i'm working the first time with CI so i need a bit of support to get me going
I got an app which works fine with the htaccess file but i can't get to the Admin subdir.
This is the structure of my app in the application folder:

CONTROLLERS
--main.php (contains all of the functions)
--admin (dir)
--admin.php (calls the views/admnin/login.php)


VIEWS
--view files
--admin (dir)
--login.php

and here's my htaccess in the application root

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /app_labitta/ (name of the application)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/main/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

I tried this but with no avail!
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/main/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/admin/$ index.php/admin/main/$1 [L]


How can i get to see the admin area?
Is it possible to use more rewrite rules and/or more rewrite Base?
Any idea or error spot?
Thanks Vitto

In your controller you cant have the same name as a folder.

admin.php
admin -> folder

If you want an admin area use the admin folder and create a new controller in it ie page.php so

admin/page.php

then route all /admin calls the the page controller.

Dont forget to remove admin.php from the base controller. !

mmh, sorry but the formatting of my post has gone!!

i actually have an admin.php page inside the admin directory..

CONTROLLERS
main.php (contains all of the functions)
admin (dir) --&gt; admin.php (the admin dir contains the admin.php file)

VIEWS
view files.php
admin (dir) --&gt; login.php

I hope it's better now
