Yes, another one of these. I\'ve tried everything I could find on the search with no luck.

Answer 1

You need to make sure that in your virtual host you have:

    <Directory "/path...to directory">
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
        Allowoverride all
    </Directory>

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
        RewriteEngine on
    </IfModule>

Answer 2

Two points of advice:

1.) Be sure you are saving/editing the .htaccess file into the root of your project folder, and not the .htaccess in your /applications folder. Such that, if my applications folder was at, project/application, don't edit the project/application/.htaccess file. You need your file to be located at project/.htaccess

2.) Use the following in your .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .* index.php/$0 [PT,L]

Answer 3

The rules in the original post (and in the CI user guide) can be used to allow URLs to work without /index.php/ in them, but will NOT remove /index.php/ from existing URLs.

You can set $config['index_page'] = ''; (removing index.php) in the CI config to remove index.php from CI-generated URLs.

If the original rules do not work, please give these rewrite rules a try:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [QSA,L]
