trying to remove index.php from url and getting 500 error - El Forum - 11-10-2009

Hi,

I am trying to remove the index.php from the url and getting a 500 error.

I have changed:

Code:
$config['index_page'] = "index.php";

To

Code:
$config['index_page'] = "";


and

Code:
$config['uri_protocol']    = "AUTO";


To

Code:
$config['uri_protocol']    = "REQUEST_URI";


and this is the content of my .htaccess file:

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

I am running this on kubuntu 9.4, php5

Thanks for any help!

have you enable the mod_rewrite module?

Code:
sudo a2enmod rewrite

also, have a look in /var/log/apache2/error.log to see what exactly is causing the 500 error
