Mod_rewrite with folders in views [SOLVED]

[eluser]Ludovic-r[/eluser]
Hi everyone,

Just wondering how to delete properly the "index.php" from the url and use the mod_rewrite, I've turned the $config['index_page'] = 'index.php'; to $config['index_page'] = '';

It works and removes the index.php from the url BUT my links are broken now

This is my folder structure :

1-Views
2-front_end
3-templates.php (my php files) - css folder - js folder - images folder

Do you have an idea of what kind of code should I put in my .htaccess to get this work? I've tried some in this forum but nothing work.


Any help would be very very appreciated!! Thanks!

You can start by implementing the HTACCESS code found here: http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui.../urls.html

As far as your structure for your views, they should be loaded by your controllers - there shouldn't be any direct access to them from a URL.

Code:

function controller_name()
{
    $this->load->view('front_end/view.php');
}

site.com/controller_name/ -> would load that view.

Yeah, I know this but when I add the code in the .htaccess and remove the index.php in $config[‘index_page’] = ‘index.php’; the index.php is well removed from the url but my url didn't work anymore!

My uri structure is http://sitename/controller/function/iD but without the index.php in, it doesn't work! Maybe it's because my view files are placed in a folder called "front_end" in the "Views" folder ?

its not problem you can put your views where ever you want as long as you point to it correctly in your controllers ..

i think the problem in your .htaccess file, have you tried to have this inside it

Code:

Options +FollowSymLinks -Indexes
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RedirectMatch 403 ^/(system\/cache|cache|logs|\.git|\.hg).*$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

Hi, thanks for your answer but it still not work T_T 2 questions :

- My .htaccess is located in my "Application" folder
- I work on localhost

It's a potential problem?

[eluser]Zaher Ghaibeh[/eluser]
you .htaccess file must be located at the root of your site not inside your application folder.

for example :
CI
--APPLICATION
--SYSTEM
-index.php
-.htaccess <---- here is your file ..

[eluser]Ludovic-r[/eluser]
Okthe .htaccess is well placed (in the root) and I have the code in it.

But it still not work I really don't know why. Any ideas?

By the way thanks for your time, it's very appreciated!

have you tried to reload your site by restarting apache ??
i know this is something cant be believed but in windows sometimes things get messy ...

plus can you provide me with your environment specifications ( OS , LAMP Software ... etc ) ..

[eluser]Ludovic-r[/eluser]
Yes, I've restarted Apache and MySQL.

I'm on MAMP on a Mac OSX system, my Apache has the mod_rewrite enabled by the way so it should work..

To resume, when I remove the index.php in my config file it shows a Not found page but the url is rewrited..
