Remove index.php file - El Forum - 05-04-2009

Hi, I have some problem regarding my root folder installation. Its working now, but I want to change it.

Now I have

Code:
http://localhost/CodeIgniter/index.php/welcome

I need change it into

Code:
http://localhost/CodeIgniter/welcome

Presently I have no .htaccess file in my root, How can I change it, If a .htaccess file is required what should be its content?

I am using wamp server with Apache/2.2.4 (Win32) PHP/5.2.4 configuration.

now my CI sample site working from

Code:
http://localhost/CodeIgniter/index.php/decode

.
I need change it into

Code:
http://localhost/CodeIgniter/decode

I followed instructions from

Code:
http://codeigniter.com/wiki/mod_rewrite/

. But it does not work.

Now when I access page 'http://localhost/CodeIgniter/decode', it will display my wamp server default localhost home page. But browser url shows 'http://localhost/CodeIgniter/decode'.

When I copy these directory info into my .htaccess,

Code:
<Directory "/some/absolute/path/htdocs">

...

Options FollowSymLinks

AllowOverride FileInfo

...  

</Directory>

I am getting '500 internal server error'. Then I tried the following code in .htaccess file.

Code:
<Directory "/some/absolute/path/htdocs">

Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

AllowOverride AuthConfig FileInfo

Order allow,deny

Allow from all

</Directory>

But it still showing '500 internal server error' error.
Actually what should be the <Directory "/some/absolute/path/htdocs"> path for me?
Does my .htaccess file in its right place?

I have created the .htaccess file in my codeigniter folder.(outside system folder). Does my .htaccess file location is correct?
my physical path is

Code:
E:\wamp\www\CodeIgniter

.

Thanks,

the sample .htaccess you want to start off with is

Code:
RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

This turns on the rewrite (provided it is activated on the server), sets the rewrite base path, checks that the requested URL is not a real file or a directory and sends it transparently through the index.php

Hi Evil,
Thanks for your response. But the above lines are already in my .htaccess file.

Code:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

    RewriteEngine On

    RewriteBase /

    #Removes access to the system folder by users.

    #Additionally this will allow you to create a System.php controller,

    #previously this would not have been possible.

    #'system' can be replaced if you have renamed your system folder.

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*

    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

    #Checks to see if the user is attempting to access a valid file,

    #such as an image or css document, if this isn't true it sends the

    #request to index.php

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]

</IfModule>

<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>

    # If we don't have mod_rewrite installed, all 404's

    # can be sent to index.php, and everything works as normal.

    # Submitted by: ElliotHaughin

    ErrorDocument 404 /index.php

</IfModule> 

<Directory "/some/absolute/path/htdocs">

Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

AllowOverride AuthConfig FileInfo

Order allow,deny

Allow from all

</Directory>

What should be the '
<Directory "/some/absolute/path/htdocs">' value for me?

Arun,

The "<Directory " portion of that should be going into the httpd.conf file for apache, not in an .htaccess file. The .htaccess file is already per directory, so you just need to add the options and allow lines.

I think you'll find the heavily documented .htaccess file the following link helpful:
http://www.danielwmoore.com/remove_index_from_codeigniter

Also, read on what to do to your config.php file as well, also on that page.

That link should get you up and running.
