I have a PHP page over at mysite.com/somedir/script.php.

When I have <a> tags in my Angular views that point to this script, Angular's routing always brings me back to mysite.com/index.html when I click on them.

This is my $routeProvider configuration:

siteModule.config(function($routeProvider, $locationProvider) {
    $routeProvider
        .when('/', {
            templateUrl:'/views/blog.html',
            controller:'blogController'
        })
        .when('/blog',{
            templateUrl:'/views/blog.html',
            controller:'blogController'
        })
        .when('/work',{
            templateUrl:'/views/work.html',
            controller:'workController'
        });
    // For Pretty URLs
    $locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
});

I'm also using some Apache mod_rewrite to handle 404s / page refreshes in an .htacess file that I think may be interfering: 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index
RewriteRule (.*) index.html [L]

The aforementioned PHP page is a valid (existing) resource so I'm not sure why Angular or Apache would redirect / rewrite away from it. I'm using the target="_blank" on the <a> tags and have the <base href="/"> set in the index page's <head> tag as well.

I just want to be able to access my script normally instead of being pointed back to the index page.

In javascript you can still use window.location.href to escape the router, so in the 'otherwise' section of your router, use window.location.href = {the route} instead of allowing it to use the default index.
