Question website.com/blog directs to website.com/blog/recent-entries/

[Replicators]

Everything works fine now except my blog, it leads to a certain page that i don't want it to go, i just want it to go to blog.php. I set the custom rewrite rule as "'^blog.php$' => 'blog'", and it leads me to /blog/recent-entries/ and show a empty page stating "Page not found". I have cleared cache, even my browsers cache and i can't seem to fix this.

You should not use a custom rewrite rule for this. To redirect to /recent-entries/ is working as intended, as that is the default blog page. It's enforcing the canonical URL for the page to avoid duplicate content penalties
