Removing the index.php file

[eluser]Flemming[/eluser]
great - so that means your mod_rewrite does work, you just need to fine-tune the rules!

This one SHOULD work:

Code:

RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /index.php/$1

so that if you visit

Code:

http://www.live-site-url.co.uk/used-cars/

it should be re-written to

Code:

http://www.live-site-url.co.uk/index.php/used-cars/

(remember, you won't see that in the address bar - it will still read

Code:

http://www.live-site-url.co.uk/used-cars/

if you feel like you're going round in circles then please search these forums for mod_rewrite examples and try every combination you can. Eventually you will find success!

what happens if you try

Code:

RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [R]

this should FORCE a redirect, so you will see the new address in your address bar, i.e.

Code:

http://www.live-site-url.co.uk/index.php/used-cars/
