This is what it has:

	# In some cases where you have other mod_rewrite rules, you may need to remove the

	# This resets the other mod_rewrite rules for just this directory
	# If your site was www.example.com/forum, the setting would be /forum/
	#RewriteBase /

	#To redirect users to the secure version of your site, uncomment the lines below 
	#RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
	#RewriteRule .* https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

	# Send css calls directly to the correct file VBV-7807
	RewriteRule ^css.php$ core/css.php [NC,L]

	# Redirect old install path to core.
	RewriteRule ^install/ core/install/ [NC,L]

	# Main Redirect
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|png|css)$
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
	RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?routestring=$1 [L,QSA]

	# Because admincp is an actual directory.
	RewriteRule ^(admincp/)$ index.php?routestring=$1 [L,QSA]
