Removing index.php not working on hosting althougt all conditions true - futureisnow - 09-18-2019
Hi,
first of all I know that is a famous problem and I have already tried probably everything and I am just tired after 4 days of fighting. I feel stupid asking that as the next but I am really desperate.
The thing is:
Removing index.php from URL works fine on localhost (XAMMP) but does not work on hosting (OVH, Apache) i.e. http://example.com/index.php/contact works fine while http://example.com/contact does NOT work.
On the server I set "root folder" into "public" folder and it seems working.
My application is:
- Manually installed CI4 RC1
- One dummy view added (contact.php) to test url + its routing
- App.php:
- $baseURL = "http://example.com/"
- $indexPage = ''
The original .htaccess in "public" folder didn't work on the hosting.
A dummy .htaccess like:
Quote:RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
...also does not work (neither in "public" nor in "/" folder).
I can see only a message "File not found." when I choose
Important is that my hosting provider told me "rewrite_mod" work correct on the server.
Does anybody know what problem can be?
Should .htaccess be placed in "public" or in "/"?
Best Regards!

It should be in public.
If you installed CodeIgniter in a subfolder, you will need to set RewriteBase appropriately.

I tried to manipulate with it, but received only "500 Internal Server Error".
Well, it is preconfigored by hosting multipage version, so the app is in a subfolder in fact. But since it is preconfigured on the server I don't think it is a problem.

Hey I found I solution I hope it will work for you.
create new file on root index.php and add below code :
<?php include "public/index.php"; ?>
now copy your .htaccess file from public and put it on root and thats all
it worked for me.
