Joomla link error : No input file specified - .htaccess

I'm really new to Joomla, and i develop (actually i just copy the files and duplicate the database) from a working main site and build new site, after i edit the original content. Everything looks fine but, links and menus of new site's gives error or No input file specified, if i add manually on address bar '/index.php/' between site url and page url then it works, i don't know what went wrong, and this is '.htaccess' file on root 'http://paristokyo.biz/trouvay-cauvin.co.uk'

please help me to fix this.

Change the Directory Indexes to the index.php

Disable both Search Engine Friendly URLs and URL rewriting options on Global Configuration. This will solve the problem.

Firstly, ensure mod_rewrite is enabled, then:
Rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess
Open the file and find the line that has “# RewriteBase /”
Remove the # sign to uncomment
Upload the .htaccess file
Enable SEF again in Global Configuration
Refresh browser and check to see if it is working.
Also try the following:
Bellow RewriteEngine on put
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/index\.php/
RewriteRule ^index.php/(.*) /$1 [R=301,L]
Hope this helps

Htaccess rewrite rule joomla 3

I want to make a rewrite rule to change old url to new url like this:
From
https://www.website.com/apple/something
To
https://www.website.com/orange/something
the something-part could be anything, I just want to exchange the word "apple" to "orange" in all links with apple in it.
I have a joomla 3.8 website and I've tried all sorts of rewrite rules in the joomla htaccess file but nothing works. I don't know how to write the rule and where to put it in the htaccess-file.
Latest fail:
RewriteRule ^/apple(.*) /orange$1 [L,R=301]
My joomla htaccess looks like this:

You can add the following to your .htaccess file in between the <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> tags: try this
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}
RewriteRule ^apple/(.*)$ /orange/$1 [R=301,L]
I finally got it working with this rule:
RewriteRule ^apple/(.*)$ /orange/$1 [R=301,NC,L]
Hopefully it will helps somebody else ;-)

Rewrite Rule - Remove numbers after forward slash

I have a bunch of 404 links, close to 500 resulting from a link looking like:
http://www.domain.com/component/k2/item/192-file-sharing-options-to-consider.html
The link needs to be shown as follows, except the ID 192 and portion after is an ALIAS for a blog item.
http://www.domain.com/component/k2/item/file-sharing-options-to-consider.html
We essentially need to remove the '192-' from the link, and have this happen to all blog links (the number can be anything from 1, 2, or 3 digits)
I've tried something of this sorts
RewriteCond /component/k2/item/
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)$ /component/k2/item/$1
I know this may not be proper, but I am slowly trying to learn how this all works.
Also /component/k2/item/ can be found as /blog/item/ in some links

How do I rewrite http://bruteforce.tv/streams/shinigami

Joomla .htaccess rewrite

Just trying to change my URL from http://bruteforce.tv/index.php/streams/shinigamily
to
http://bruteforce.tv/shinigamily
I activated the Rewrite Option in the admin panel and used the original joomla htaccess file and the url went to
http://bruteforce.tv/streams/shinigamily
At this point I wrote RewriteRule ^streams/(.*)/?$ /$1 [L,NC,R] after the # RewriteBase /
Somehow it doesnt work. My webhost already edited his httpd.conf with
<Directory "/home/htdocs/webX/html">
AllowOverride All
Options +FollowSymLinks +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
</Directory>
But it didnt change anything either.
Now, the hard way is much more advanced and requires you to do the
following:
Modify Joomla’s SEF core files in order to remove the category name
from the URL. (Note: There are several files that need to be changed.)
Ensure that the change you’ve done above is accommodated in your
.htaccess file.
Ensure that you don’t break any functionality with this code change.

Joomla .htaccess DirectoryIndex blocks my administrator

I just installed Joomla 1.5 and as I am currently working on the website I put up a new index.html containing under construction template and in .htaccess I added a line
DirectoryIndex index.html
Now I am able to access the under construction site.but opening the administrator says error 404.However if I remove the line DirectoryIndex index.html and save it again then it works..
Here is my .htaccess page after adding DirectoryIndex
