How to remove index.php from codeigniter 2.0.2

[eluser]mi6crazyheart[/eluser]
Here is my current .htaccess

Code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /vb/

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /vb/index.php?/$1 [L]
    
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^application.*
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /vb/index.php?/$1 [L]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

& my problem is if i remove index.php from url like following example..

Code:

http://localhost/vb/account/forgetPassword

It's not working. Showing 404 file not found error.

But, when i include index.php as in following example in the url

Code:

http://localhost/vb/index.php/account/forgetPassword

It's started working.

I've also checked my apache for mod_rewrite setting & i think mod_rewrite has enabled. Here is a screen shot of my apache2handler config which i got by using php's "echo phpinfo()". I really don't know it's a right way to check for mod_rewrite enable or not but, from some web tuto i got this technique.

localhost has always had issues with it for some reason. When I ran my localhost I couldnt remove it otherwise it would break everything, but once I moved my project to my shared environment I was able to.. something to do with configurations and stuff like that i'm unsure but yeah.

CI works fine on localhost if you set it up right.

Are you getting a CodeIgniter 404 page or an Apache 404 page? That will tell us more information.

Also remember to change your 'index_page' config item to be empty:

Code:

$config['index_page'] = '';

Didnt mean CI didnt work on localhost, meant the .htaccess to remove the index.php didnt work right on localhost for me no matter how i tried to configure it all.

[eluser]Aken[/eluser]
Well, yeah that's what I meant - CI + htaccess overall. I'm sorry you couldn't get it to work. I bet you could figure it out with some help from these forums, maybe Stack Overflow + other online resources, etc. I know I had to look up a couple goofy Apache configurations to figure out why some things didn't work (for instance, mine had Allow Escaped Slashes turned off, so I couldn't use url-encoded links in my application).

[eluser]jblack199[/eluser]
Yeah apache and the many configurations is very odd... I often think postfix is easier to configure than apache.. but no loss for me personally on the localhost not working, I just have an extra step of remembering to upload each file when i'm done with it..

[eluser]Aken[/eluser]
Yeah, if you set it up correctly you just need to add the .htaccess file and change the config.php file to remove the index page.

@Aken
Ya, i've already done that

Code:

$config['index_page'] = '';

& also tried this

Code:

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

with all available options. But, nothing is working accordingly.

Ya, i'm getting that 404 file not found error from Apache not from CI...

Don't know why, but i'm also feeling like it's my "mod_rewrite" might've not working properly. I've just google a bit about this "mod_rewrite" & i got couple of questions where people say.. their apache showing "mod_rewrite" has enable in their localhost but still, it's not working accordingly as it need to do...

Could you try my solution above article?

Code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /vb/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
