The ? after / specifies that there can be none or one / after your url-rewrite, as such it would accept it with or without the trailing /

Answer 2

The subpattern .[^/]* requires at least one arbitrary character. In your case it’s probably that trailing slash.

You should better stick to one writing (either with or without trailing slash) and redirect th wrong writing to the proper, like:

# remove trailing slash
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]

# add trailing slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^.*[^/]$ /$0/ [L,R=301]

plain old regexes:

RewriteRule ^signup/register/?$ /signup/register.php [NC]
