Getting rid of index.php - El Forum - 06-28-2009
[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hi,
I'm making a digg-like site with CodeIgniter, and I have to say, I love it! But, the whole index.php in the URL is really starting to bother me. Take this URL:
http://www.example.com/index.php/popular/all
As opposed to:
http://www.example.com/popular/all
The second one looks much better, yes? I looked at the User Guide where it says how to do some mod_rewrite magic to change this, but to no avail.
Help?

I think you have to make a .htaccess file into your root folder. Insert the list of codes below into your .htacces file:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt|css)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>
But, you have to set the httpd.conf in your Apache webserver first as following instruction:
1. Make sure to unblock this line of code in your httpd.conf:
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
2. Check the following code in your httpd.conf
#
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
# It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
# Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
#
#AllowOverride all
3. Make sure to unblock "AllowOverride All" as shown above. So it will be:
#
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
# It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
# Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
#
AllowOverride all
4. Restart your httpd service
I think it will work as i have ever done with it. Good luck but i'm sorry because of my english not good.
