Those with .htaccess problems, removing index.php SOLVED

[eluser]LifeSteala[/eluser]
Hi guys. This is a thread to say after so long I got my .htaccess file working brilliantly.

Thought I would post this up as I saw a lot of other threads where others were having the same problem, unsolved. I'm sure this will fix it.

I needed to add

Code:

Options FollowSymLinks

and it all started working.

My htaccess file:

Code:

Options FollowSymLinks
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on
    
    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>

I hope this helps with anyone having the same problem.

Yea, first one that has worked correctly for me... ALMOST. Had to change "RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]" for Apache 2.

Be careful when using this if symlinks are turned on already, because it will result in a 500 error.
