I'm brand new to CI and I'm trying to remove the annoying "index.php" from the URLs. This is the .htaccess I'm using:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
As you can see, I have to use QUERY_STRING to make the new URL work (note the question mark after index.php). When I try to use PATH_INFO (i.e. without the question mark), I only get No input file specified error.
This is fine, and I'm OK with using QUERY_STRING if I have to, but I don't understand the problem because I was using PATH_INFO just fine before I started playing with the rewrite - i.e. the default of "example.com/index.php/controller/function" was working, and that uses PATH_INFO AFAIK.
Does anyone know why the htaccess breaks PATH_INFO in my example? Sorry for the stupid question.
Try this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .* index.php/%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
The rewrite rules above seem to work fine for an app that I'm currently working on... they pass the correct GET requests along with the proper PATH_INFO values.

i have the following rewrite condition and it works fine:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9_-]+)\.html$ index.php/page/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|asset|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
However, all it takes is adding a trailing backslash to my url and the site breaks. I have seen several similar questions and answers but nothing works for me, mainly because i'm not familiar with htaccess.
How can i make make my url auto change from
http://localhost:8888/mysite/mylink/
to
http://localhost:8888/mysite/mylink
Iam using codeigniter and my application is still in localhost. Appreciate any help in this. Thanks.
Just change all your links without that slash at the end.
Lets say that I have a static app and a JSON file that feeds it.
The problem is that the JSON file it's not available yet and I can't use it, so, to make the application run in development environment, I want to add a rewrite rule to redirect the JSON request to a CI controller path that will return a JSON as well.
My htaccess file looks like this
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|assets|static|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
#Rewrite for development
RewriteRule ^static/app/json/appData.json$ /buscador/getAppData
The first condition is the CI main condition to redirect all request to index.php
Then I added the RewriteRule for the JSON file that's going to be located in static/app/json/appData.json and it needs to be redirected to the CI controller buscador/getAppData
The thing is that this Rewrite Rule isn't working and I don't know why, can somebody tell me what is wrong o how can I add a custom rewrite rule in CI?
Thank you!
I was pondering on a similar problem for quite a few hours. I needed to add a custom RewriteRile so that a shorter link should be generated (and working) in order to be sent as a footer in an SMS to users. I finally managed to do it with a 301 redirect before the CI redirects. Here's my .htaccess:
Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
#Custom redirect
RewriteRule ^nv([0-9]+?)?$ /news/locate/item/$1 [NC,L,R=301]
#Remove trailing slash against SEO duplicates
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]
#Generic controller redirects
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
Now http://domain.tld/nv1234 redirects to http://domain.tld/news/locate/item/1234 as intended, although not as transparently as I would like it to, but I couldn't find a better way.
Please note the R=301 in the Custom redirect line - the RewriteRule will not work if the client is not redirected to the newsController.
Posting my solution here with the hope that other developers will not get lost as I (and the OP) did.
I have been searching with no success on getting my mod rewrite rule to work. I am creating a site like most now that use a rewrite rule to point back to a specific php file that will display content based on the url. The issue i am having, is trying to get the rewrite rule NOT to apply if the user went to "something.com/phpmyadmin" I know it has been asked before, and i have read those posts, but i still cant seem to get mine to work, here is the rewrite scripts i have, and it is still sending me to the /index.php instead of /phpmyadmin/
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/phpmyadmin
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .* index.php
If i go to /phpmyadmin/index.php it works fine, but i am really bothered why i cant get the directory part to work.
You should use THE_REQUEST variable:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} !/phpmyadmin [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
THE_REQUEST variable represents original request received by Apache from your browser and it doesn't get overwritten after execution of some rewrite rules.
I'm using with good results the following code to access alla of my php files into the /it directory without specifying the extension. In other words I can access to "http://www.mydomain.com/it/about.php" just writing "http://www.mydomain.com/it/about".
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.com/it/$1.php [L]
the same happen when i try to access to http://www.mydomain.com/it/question_answers.php.
How can I access directly to *"http://www.mydomain.com/it/question_answers.php"* also writing "http://www.mydomain.com/it/question-answers"?
I wrote the floowing code below the previous but it seems not to work.
Redirect 301 /question-answer http://www.mydomain.com/it/question_answer.php
because if i write "http://www.mydomain.com/it/question-answer" the browser try to open the page:
"http://www.mydomain.com/it/question-answer.php.php.php.php.php.php.php.php.php.php.php.php.php.php.php.php.php.php.php.php"
A small abstract of the post:
I have the page *"http://www.mydomain.com/it/question_answers.php"*
with the first part of code I can get it using the link *"http://www.mydomain.com/it/question_answers"*
I'd like to access the same page also with the following "http://www.mydomain.com/it/question-answers"
Thanks!
This should work for you:
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.com/$1.php
RewriteRule it/question-answer\.php http://www.mydomain.com/it/question_answer.php [R=301,L]
I have changed two things: I deleted it/ in the new URL of the first RewriteRule. Otherwise you would be redirected to it/it/
I also added \.php to the second RewriteRule. I don't really know why, but the RewriteRule seems to replace the pattern instead of redirecting. And if your pattern is it/question-answer and the real url is it/questions-answer.php the .php will not be replaced.
I have an MSM install with four (licensed) sites. Three of them work perfectly and behave as they should. The fourth one, currently under construction seems to have a mind of its own. The home page shows up but attempts to add additional templates or template groups with content do not display. I only get
The requested URL /template-name/ was not found on this server.
I double checked and made sure the Enable Strict URLs was set to No and the templates are all synched properly. At this point I am repeating myself. Any clues?
Edited
I found out that if I insert index.php into the URL the other pages and templates will show, which leads me to believe that I have something wrong with the htacess file.
Here is the code I am using (which has worked just fine for other sites):
# BEGIN ExpressionEngine Rewrite
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond $1 !\.(gif|jpe?g|png)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?$1 [L]
</IfModule>
# END ExpressionEngine Rewrite
Any clues why this is not working correctly?
Turns out it was the htaccess file. I replaced the rewrite noted above with the following and it solved the problem:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
