Problem removing 'index.php' with .htaccess

[eluser]shanecavaliere[/eluser]
I've been looking around and trying different methods, but I can't seem to get it to work. Can anybody please let me know what I'm doing wrong?

My .htaccess file is in my site's root (as is my CI installation). I got this from the CI wiki:

Code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /

    #Removes access to the system folder by users.
    #Additionally this will allow you to create a System.php controller,
    #previously this would not have been possible.
    #'system' can be replaced if you have renamed your system folder.
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

    #Checks to see if the user is attempting to access a valid file,
    #such as an image or css document, if this isn't true it sends the
    #request to index.php
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
    # If we don't have mod_rewrite installed, all 404's
    # can be sent to index.php, and everything works as normal.
    # Submitted by: ElliotHaughin

    ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>

And I also changed my system/application/config/config.php so that the 'index_page' line says:

Code:

$config['index_page'] = '';

But it's still not working - I still need to include /index.php/ in the URL for it to work properly. What am I missing? Thanks in advance for any help!

Edit: Thought I figured it out, but I didn't... Still not working.

Thanks for posting your solution this will help other people with the same issue.

EDIT: Maybe not then! Welcome to the Forums!

Here is my htaccess. Maybe try something simpler like this before blocking certain folders, etc.

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "index.php/$1" [L]

What is an example URL you're trying?

Also, turning on the mod_rewrite log can be very helpful in shorting these issues out. Just don't leave it on all the time, it slows down processing.

Code:

RewriteLog /Applications/MAMP/logs/mod_rewrite_log
RewriteLogLevel 8

I did not even know ModRewrite could log. Where do you put that? I tried placing it in my .htaccess and it a server 500. Apache logs says "RewriteLog not allowed here"

I'm trying http://example.com/index.php/blog/, but I want it to be http://example.com/blog/ instead. (I'm going through the documentation tutorials).

Did you try my htaccess?

Do you get a CI 404, or apache 404 page?

Does your blog controller have an index or _remap method?

It's a recent discovery for me too :-) You put it in the server or vhost config. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod...rewritelog
