mod_rewrite, what am i doing wrong?

[eluser]b2000b[/eluser]
Ive been trying at this for a few hours now and I just cant get mod_rewrite to remove the index.php from my ci project. Here is what I've done.

config.php

Code:

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

.htaccess

Code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^application.*
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
    ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>

mod_rewirte IS enabled, it it shown in: apache2handler -> Loaded Modules -> mod_rewrite, when phpinfo(); is called.

uname -a:

Code:

Linux io.b2000b.net 2.6.32-220.2.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Dec 23 02:21:33 CST 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

CI is located in: /var/www/html/b2k/
CI is accses as: io.b2000b.net/b2k
CI can be found on the Internet at http://b2000b.net/b2k

If anyone can help that be wonderful! I host this sever my self and have full root accsess to it. I can get this working fine with my VPS but I cant pinpoint what I've done wrong here.

Try this:

Code:

RewriteBase /b2k

And also try to remove the leading slashes from your RewriteRules.

I am just using this

Code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /folder1/folder2/index.php?/$1 [L]

</IfModule>

I have mi CI two level high that is why I use /folder1/folder2/index.php

If you are using XAMPP on windows your .htaccess file will never work!
If you want to test .htaccess is working just place text in the top of it

Code:

// <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> needs to be changed to <IfModule mod_rewrite.so>

<IfModule mod_rewrite.so>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^application.*
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.so>
    ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>

@InsiteFX, it is strange cuase my .htaccess looks like this and works perfect.

Code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /folder1/folder2/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 /folder1/folder2/index.php
</IfModule>

I guess I had to un-comment something inside the httpd.conf

Code:

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

and as you say, on windows it uses .so instead of .c ... strange, uh?

[eluser]b2000b[/eluser]
InsiteFX, I am not useing XAMPP on windows, quoting myself;

uname -a:

Code:

Linux io.b2000b.net 2.6.32-220.2.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Dec 23 02:21:33 CST 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Or, In other words, CentOS 6.2 2.6.32 64bit

Ojcarga, since it is Linux I have used the .c extention, and

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.c

is uncommented in my httpd.conf (becuase mod_rewrite shows in phpinfo(); I can be sure of this.)

I still havent been able to test the ideas to fix the problem, Ill be doing it tonight.
