Problems removing index.php from URLs :(

[eluser]K-Fella[/eluser]
I just can't seem to remove the index.php from URLs

I've tried all of the .htaccess files suggested here on the forums.

I've checked the server and mod_rewrite is enabled. AllowOverride is set to ALL. The version of Apache is 2.0.52.

It works perfectly fine on my localhost using this .htaccess:

Code:

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

Some things probably worth mentioning:

1. I have added some custom routes - although pages that don't use these routes don't work either.
2. I have moved the application folder out of the system folder.

Any ideas?

Here's what I'm using:

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ /index.php [L]
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|image|library|style|script|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

I took it from Derek's blog (post link)

It work fine for me.

That one didn't work either

In fact, that didn't even work on my localhost.

can you explain more about your setup?, directory tree, apache config if available, with more info maybe anyone finds the clue

I would try some basic mod_rewrite outside your codeigniter application. You would see if there's something wrong with the way you use codeigniter or if it's your mod_rewrite configuration.

Folder tree:
-public_html
-- application
-- images
-- css
-- system

Can't post Apache config, don't have access.

The homepage works fine. It's only if I try visiting /news, /press, etc. Basically any deeper links.

Config line:

Code:

$config['index_page'] = "";

I'm not sure what else to include :question:
The website is www.inch.ie, btw.

I had the same problem, it took the addition of one more slash to the .htaccess file, mine reads:

Code:

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

Made no difference

Moving application/ out of system/ should be fine if you have your paths set correctly in the boostrap loader (index.php). I'm using the following with the uri protocol set to AUTO:

Code:

Options +FollowSymLinks
Options -Indexes
DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
