I just moved my functional codeigniter project to a new web hosting provider and am now having challenges removing the index.php from the URL using a standard .htaccess mod-rewrite. Here is the .htaccess that was working fine:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
I found this discussion but I do not have root access to the apache server to make the suggested configuration change.
Using the provided .htaccess file above,
Works fine: http://www.mysite.com/index.php/plans
Doesn't work: http://www.mysite.com/plans
Any suggestions are appreciated.
If you really have to accept both forms of URLs likewise then you need two RewriteRules. Once accepting variants with then 'index.php' part and one without.
Something like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^index\.php/(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
Your question's not very clear, but a common problem with mod_rewrite rules like this is that some servers need the request to be passed as a query. I.e. you'd need to change your last line to:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]

I have this .htaccess in my root folder:
root:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?page=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [NC,L]
So that incoming GET requests come through http://www.example.com/somethingsomething instead of ?page=somethingsomething. That's all fine.
However, in the root folder I have another folder named /i. Id like this one to handle another type of request, which looks like this: http://www.example.com/i/somethingsomething with the ending actually meaning http://www.example.com/i/index.php?img=somethingsomething. Problem is that the .htaccess in the root folder is still in use. What I need is the following:
/i:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?img=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [NC,L]
, but somehow exclude the .htaccess in the root folder.
Is this possible?
EDIT:
Tried what I found on this site, for instance using RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(i) and similar in the root .htaccess.
Yes, you can do it like this, using a single rule in the root .htaccess. The root .htaccess is always going to get processed, so you might as well do it there with one rule. Otherwise it would be more complicated and the root would need modifying with an exception for /i anyway.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(?:i/)?index\.php$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(i/)?(.*)$ /$1index.php?img=$2 [QSA,NC,L]
Using the [QSA] flag which is a better way to pass on any existing query string. RewriteBase is not needed. You perhaps don't need the directory check and it would be better for performance without it. The index.php check is there to improve performance by avoiding another file-system check after a successful rewrite.
Update
Sorry, I hadn't noticed that the parameter you are passing to index.php has a different name in the second case. These rules in root should work for you:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/i/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?page=$1 [QSA,NC,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(?:i/)?index\.php$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^i/(.*)$ /i/index.php?img=$1 [QSA,NC,L]
I'm attempting to remove index.php using the CodeIgniter framework (hosted with GoDaddy - Linux), which is currently installed to: example.com/ci
I've already declared the base_url in application/config/config.php as http://example.com/ci/.
The following is my latest test input for .htaccess:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
Keep in mind that the domain CI is installed under is not my hosting root. The actual path for the CI folder would be: root/mydomain/ci
After spending the better part of the day today trying a plethora of "solutions", I'm beginning to wonder if this is possible to do with GoDaddy at all, or perhaps my situation is somehow unique.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT: The closest I've come to fixing this issue is using the following .htaccess:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /clone/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^index.php/(.*)$ [L]
</IfModule>
.. while setting my base_url to mydomain.com/clone/ (using http:// of course) and removing index.php from index_page. Navigating to mydomain.com/clone works fine but navigating to the two pages that are part of the software results in a 404 page.
An answer to your comment, you need to add a rewrite condition to access the sites/ directory. CodeIgniter is looking for sites in the controllers folder.
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|sites)
You can also add the names of your resource folders like images/video etc.
Change this
In your config.php
$config['base_url'] = '';
$config['index_page'] = '';
then in .htaccess
RewriteEngine on
Options -Indexes
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
or else you can use your .htaccess too
EDIT 01
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
I have two rewrite rules which, in what ever order I add them, fail to work together
The first one takes a name from url e.g.
http://myUrl.com/JohnSmith
and forwards it to:
http://myUrl.com/pages/gf_profile.html?user=JohnSmith
Code is:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ /pages/gf_profile.html?user=$1 [NC,L]
On it's own it works fine. The second one is wordpress, I have urls e.g.:
http://myUrl.com/blog/my-blog-post
And it uses:
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
With the second section in, when I try the first URL it thinks it's a blog title and therefore cannot find it.
Is there a way to use them both?
Try:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/blog/
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ /pages/gf_profile.html?user=$1 [NC,L]
And I assume your other rules are in the /blog/ directory (otherwise it doesn't look like it'll work right).
Answer:
Thanks to #anubhava - I simply created a .htaccess file in the /blog/ folder with the following on and all works perfectly now.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
I'm not sure why wordpress doesn't add this on install, it should IMHO - hopefully this might help someone who has a similar issue down the line.
I am using codeigniter. I have front end application and backend application like
/system/
/application/
/front/
/admin/
index.php
admin.php
.htaccess
I want my url like http://example.com/news/article1 (for site)
http://example.com/news/admin (for admin)
In .htaccess I have written
RewriteEngine On
# If the user types just "admin".
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/admin$ admin\.php [L,QSA]
# If the user enter in any admin section, like "admin/section".
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/admin\/(.*)$ admin\.php/$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
the front end is working fine but when I enter mydomain.com/admin it is throwing 404 not found error. Please help me.
Thanks and regards
I'm not that good with .htaccess, but from the CI website, you can use this for your .htaccess rule
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
and then use routes to rewrite your urls. Much easier than trying to do it in .htaccess files
I am trying to let the "trac" directory and all of it's subdirectories be accessible through the url http://www.domain.com/trac/
I am working with the codeginiter framework and my directory structure looks like
.htaccess
index.php
system
trac
I can access the abov url fine, but the problem is the scripts and other files contained in trac subdirectories ie: trac/chrome/common/css/trac.css are not accessible and 404. Here is my .htaccess code. Please help.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
RewriteCond $1 !^trac/
RewriteRule ^trac/(.*) /trac/$1
You don't even need to mention /trac/ in your .htaccess. That's EXACTLY the point of
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
You're setting two "Rewrite Conditions." The first one says, "As long as the request isn't a file." The second one says "OR As long as the request isn't a directory."
Then
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
Sends everything else to index.php, where CI takes over. And just for the record, my full .htaccess that I use on every project:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
If you're confused about the RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URL} ^system.* line, it only exists so that any browser requests to the /system/ folder is always routed to index.php, and therefor ignored.
rewrite rules are executed in order... so try this
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/trac/
RewriteCond $1 !(index\.php/)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
Explanation:
if the uri DOES NOT start with trac
if the uri IS NOT index.php
rewrite url as index.php?/{rest of the url}
If you remove the last two lines, it should work.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f checks to ensure that you're not requesting a file. If you are, this condition fails and the rule RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L] is never executed.
