.htaccess send requests to a subfolder's index.php
The answer that fixed my problem is:
RewriteEngine On
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule !\.(js|ico|gif|jpg|png|css)$ index.php
It appears that the Multiviews was throwing it off.
