Having issues removing that index.php. Tried all possible solutions with no luck :(

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hello Forum,

Can someone please help? I've been at this for hours with no luck and would really appreciate some help.

First off I am using MAMP Pro with SSL test env. So CI is running on https://

Here is my config URL snippet

Code:

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Base Site URL
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| URL to your CodeIgniter root. Typically this will be your base URL,
| WITH a trailing slash:
|
| http://example.com/
|
| If this is not set then CodeIgniter will guess the protocol, domain and
| path to your installation.
|
*/
$config['base_url'] = 'https://mysite/';

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Index File
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Typically this will be your index.php file, unless you've renamed it to
| something else. If you are using mod_rewrite to remove the page set this
| variable so that it is blank.
|
*/
$config['index_page'] = '';

Here is what my .htaccess looks like.

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|robots\.txt|css|js|fonts|img)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

Here is what my current load test looks like.
https://mysite/ <-- Home Controller loads.
https://mysite/index.php/home <-- Home controller loads.
https://mysite/home <-- FAIL. Home page does not load.

Could someone help me with this please? I'm not sure how to proceed with this issue.

Thank you for reading.
