htaccess

Used CI long ago and always had issues with new setups with .htaccess.  Here I am again, such a familiar and unwanted friend.

The route works correctly for the "main" page, showing what I want, but I cannot access any other page on the site.

I am running on Ubuntu 16.04, CodeIgniter 3.1.6, Apache 2.4.18, and php 7.1.10.

Path on server /var/www/html/

/etc/apache2/sites-available/site.conf (I have a /etc/hosts entry for www.site.com)

Code:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName site.com
        ServerAlias www.site.com
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html/di/public

        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

.htaccess

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|js|uploads|css|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

routes.php

PHP Code:

$route['default_controller'] = 'page/index';
$route['404_override'] = '';
$route['translate_uri_dashes'] = FALSE; 


config.php

PHP Code:

$config['base_url'] = 'http://www.site.com/';

$config['index_page'] = 'index.php';
//$config['index_page'] = '';

$config['uri_protocol']    = 'REQUEST_URI'; 


I have turned on mod-rewrite and can see it when looking at phpinfo();

Appreciate your time and assistance.
