.htaccess configuration and index.php remove solution

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hi.

After many days searching for a good and workable .htaccess configuration i found this one that works fine. I don´t know if it's the perfect solution but works for me:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /ci/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?$1 [L][/color]
1) I have CodeIgniter installed like this: http://www.mydomain.com/ci

2) .htaccess file is installed at /ci directory. If you change this file in your computer remember that you must save it with ANSI encoding. You can use NotePad for example.

3)In system/application/config.php i have this:
$config['base_url'] = "http://www.mydomain.com/ci/";
$config['index_page'] = "";

4) I notice also that i had to remove another .htaccess that i had at root directory (http://www.mydomain.com). Maybe a conflict.

If you want install CodeIgniter at root directory you only have to put this configuration in your .htaccess and save it in this root directory:

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



I have a shared hosting account in a linux server with PHP5, APACHE 1.3.37 and mod_rewrite module enabled.


Is nothing new what i wanted to help but is another contribution about this theme that i think makes your head crazy like mine
