How remove index.php from URL? Works on MAMP, but not Ubuntu. [SOLVED] - El Forum - 09-29-2010

I have it working on my Mac (MAMP), but can't get it working on my Ubuntu (Lucid) hosted server.

This works: mysite.com/index.php/home
But this generates 404 errors: mysite.com/home

I've followed the instructions from this post.

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've confirmed that mod_rewrite is loaded on Apache2.
- The .htaccess file is in the webroot (/var/www), which is also where my index.php and system directory is.
- The .htaccess file permissions are: -rwxrwxr-x

Thanks!

Hi,

My .htaccess for this propose is so:

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

Note:
RewriteBase / - after the slash, you must temporarily place the relative path to your base_url:

Exemple:

Your app in the directory in your server is here: public_html/mysite/...
Your RewriteBase will look like: RewriteBase /mysite/

Hope this helps..

I have it working on my Mac.

But it's not working on Ubuntu. I've tried about 25 different answers and none of them work.
Yes, I have mod_rewrite on my Ubuntu server.

What other settings need to be setup on Ubuntu?

Check that you have AllowOverRide All (or another value other than 'None') in the httpd.conf file. Could be Apache is not reading the htaccess file.

Ok, I've got it working now.

Here's what I did:

I found out that in Ubuntu (Lucid) servers, the Apache default virtualhost configuration file) is "/etc/apache2/sites-available/default", not "httpd.conf" (which actually is empty in this O/S distribution).

So, I went to that config file, and made sure that I included the following lines for my webroot directory (/var/www).

Code:
AllowOverride FileInfo

Options FollowSymLink

Then I restarted Apache and it works now.
