Trying to remove index.php from url in latest codeigniter 4.5.1 - kabeza - 05-02-2024
Hi
I've started a new codeigniter 4.5.1 appstarter project at my PC and am having difficult time to remove the index.php from uri
1) This is the virtualhost set in my Apache. Points at public as suggested
Code:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@localhost
ServerName sw
ServerAlias sw
DocumentRoot /media/data/services/public
<Directory /media/data/services/public>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
Allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error_sw.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access_sw.log combined
</VirtualHost>2) I've enabled the mod_rewrite, restarted apache, edited /etc/hosts file. Then I browse to http://sw , which shows the codeigniter welcome, great!
3) I rename the root/env file to .env and leave it with
Code:
#--------------------------------------------------------------------
# APP
#--------------------------------------------------------------------
CI_ENVIRONMENT = development
app.baseURL = 'http://sw'
app.indexPage = ''4) I define a new route in app/config/Routes.php
Code:
$routes->get('/services', 'Services::index');Then, my controller app/Controllers/Services.php looks like
PHP Code:
<?php
namespace App\Controllers;
class Services extends BaseController
{
public function index(): string
{
return view('view_services');
}
}
Then, when I try this url in browser
http://sw/services
I'm getting 404 ...
5) Tried also replacing the public/.htaccess with the suggested in
https://codeigniter.com/user_guide/general/urls.html#removing-the-index-php-file
No luck
6) I've also tried setting the baseURL, indexPage, etc. options in app/Config/App.php without luck
I've got no ideas left to solve this
Thanks for any suggestion

Does the file 'view_services' exist in the app/Views folder?
RE: Trying to remove index.php from url in latest codeigniter 4.5.1 - luckmoshy - 05-02-2024
Try go in App/Config/app then
PHP Code:
public string $indexPage = 'index.php'; /*===*/ /*remove index.php*/ public string $indexPage = '';

The exact error message matters.
If Apache returns the error before running CI4, CI4 cannot do anything.

Yes. When using index.php in the url, I've checked the controller/view worked fine

Yes, as stated in original post, I've tried that in .env file and app/Config/App.php also, without luck

Yes, the url works great with index.php but when I remove it Apache throws 404. Gonna check if I can do anything related to Apache and will update in case I succeed. Thanks

Another way : Go to Public folder, move (or copy) htaccess and index.php to the main app folder. Then in your main app/index.php find the line 34 and change the path like
PHP Code:
require FCPATH . 'app/Config/Paths.php';

If you want to open a page like http://sw/services
you have to remove the "/" in the Config/Routes.php
like this:
Code:
$routes->get('services', 'Services::index');RE: Trying to remove index.php from url in latest codeigniter 4.5.1 - kabeza - 05-08-2024

The virtualhost is pointing (as recommended in user_guide) to the public folder, so moving/copying the index.php and .htaccess from public to app/ didn't work

With or without "/" didn't work
I've finally solved it by getting the appStarter again working from scratch in another folder/virtualhost
Then moved to the non-working application all the files, mainly the ones from app/Config and again overwriting everything from /vendor/codeigniter4/framework/app/Config
Don't know which file from app/Config was making conflict, but maybe I've touched or edited something that didn't make it work
Thanks 2 everyone
