custom php.ini and rewriterule in .htaccess

Question

I have a php application, which requires an .htaccess file with this rewriterule in it:

RewriteRule .* blog_manager/controller/frontController.php

I've opened a new hosting account and I wanted them to disable the extension: suhosin.mt_srand.ignore

for that they added the following lines to the .htaccess file, which are supposed to load a custom .ini file that disables that extension:

AddHandler phpini-cgi .php
Action phpini-cgi /cgi-bin/php5-custom-ini.cgi

but then, I started getting 500 Internal server error... apparently, the rewriterule and the lines they added don't work together.

I've tried to disable that extension with ini_set() in the code and with php_flag/php_value in the htaccess file, but both failed.

does anybody know why is that? Is there anything that can be done to allow the rewriterule and still disable that extension?

Change your rule to this:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/blog_manager/controller/frontController.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^ blog_manager/controller/frontController.php [L]
