Question

I\'m currently developing a website using CodeIgniter and I recently stumbled upon a routing & .htaccess problem.

Basically, the structure of my simple website (

Answer 1

You just need to paste this in your .htaccess file:

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

and make this alternation to your application/config/config.php file:

$config['index_page'] = '';

Answer 2

I use this htaccess for all my CodeIgniter projects. It supports subfolders too.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /

    #Removes access to the system folder by users.
    #Additionally this will allow you to create a System.php controller,
    #previously this would not have been possible.
    #'system' can be replaced if you have renamed your system folder.
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

    #When your application folder isn't in the system folder
    #This snippet prevents user access to the application folder
    #Submitted by: Fabdrol
    #Rename 'application' to your applications folder name.
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^application.*
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

    #Checks to see if the user is attempting to access a valid file,
    #such as an image or css document, if this isn't true it sends the
    #request to index.php
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ 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 /index.php
</IfModule>

Answer 3

In your system/application/config/config.php, Change

$config['index_page'] = "index.php";

To

$config['index_page'] = "";

And in your .htaccess,add this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|stylesheets|scripts|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

Answer 5

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

Live:

#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [QSA,L]

Local:

#RewriteRule .* index.php/$0 [PT,L]

Answer 6

I have use following method, it is working perfectly in UBUNTU...!!

First of all verify that you have enabled mod_rewrite (you can verify using phpinfo()) in your index.php file.

IF DISABLED mod_rewrite then RUN: 1. sudo a2enmod rewrite 2. sudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-available/defaut just replace "AllowOverride None" to "AllowOverride All" in Tag(<'Directory /var/www/'>) 3. Then please run sudo service apache2 restart

Ok Good... Now in your root directory of Codeigniter -> Find .htaccess file, if not found then press ctrl+h , still not found then create a file .htaccess

In .htaccess Paste following code :

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
        RewriteEngine On
        RewriteBase /ROOT DIRECTORY NAME/

        # Directs all EE web requests through the site index file
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
        RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

Ok finally just replace ROOT DIRECTORY NAME

DONT FORGOT TO REMOVE index.php from application/config/config.php file Make that line like $config['index_page'] = '';
