CodeIgniter: removing 'index.php' from URL

Question

I have answered this question previously and even posted the answer to it by myself. I tried most of the answered questions, but it still didn't work. The first question is regarding placement of the .htaccess file, should I keep it with application folder or inside it? and the next question is 'How should I remove the index.php from URL'?

.htaccess code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|resources|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]

Config.php code:

$config['index_page'] = '';
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'REQUEST_URI';

and if possible do also suggest a detailed tutorial regarding how to customize TankAuth or any other authentication library which can be easier. I am using Windows 8.1 and Wamp Server.

Any suggestion or help is appreciated.

Answer 1

Use this in your .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|resources|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./index.php/$1 [L,QSA] 

place ./ before your index.php rewrite rule.

or this

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

Answer 2

in config.php change this

$config['base_url'] = '';
$config['index_page'] = '';
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'AUTO';

and in .htaccess(NOTE: this should be place outside application folder)

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L] 
</IfModule>

Answer 3

i think it will help you,

.htaccess

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

in config.php

    $http = 'http'.((isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && $_SERVER['HTTPS'] == 'on') ? 's' : '').'://';
    $newurl = str_replace('index.php', '', $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']);
    $config['base_url'] = "$http".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].''.$newurl;
    $config['modules_locations'] = array('http://localhost/astrido_admin/application/' . 'modules/');

$config['index_page'] = '';

Thanks

it works on me, I use v2.2.6 by the way

• Create .htacccess on the same dir as your index.php
• Modify index_page and base_url value in /application/config/config.php

here is what it looks like

Answer 5

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L] 
</IfModule>

application > config > config.php

$config['base_url'] = '';
$config['index_page'] = '';
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'REQUEST_URI';

definitely it will work.

Answer 6

Try this htaccess works fine windows 7 and 8.1 and xampp

Make sure you place the .htaccess in main directory and not the application folder.

Options +FollowSymLinks
Options -Indexes

DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]

Config

$config['index_page'] = '';
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'REQUEST_URI';
