Okay so I’ve been at it for several days now and I just can’t seem to remove the index.php from my urls.

• mod_rewrite is enabled
• apache has been configured to allow .htaccess overrides (other 301 redirects are working)
• $config[‘index_page’] = “”;
• $config[‘uri_protocol’] = “AUTO”; (I have tried with other settings)
• I followed these instructions to setup my .htaccess file.

I am assuming that my issue is a path issue. I have the default CI install inside a project folder so my structure looks like this:
- localhost
    - freelance
      - ps
          .htaccess
          index.php
          - system

any insight would be helpful, thank you!

1. You might need to set the rewrite base

2. You might need to adapt the rewrite condition, in the CI example everything that is not named index.php, images or robots.txt is redirected to to the application, so if You have say a folder assets instead of images Your condition is

Thanks for you reply tomcode. I had tried using the rewrite base before with no luck and unfortunately that is still the case. I get no error… it just doesn’t work. Thanks for the tip in #2 though. I’m not trying to access anything special I just want my url to look like: http://localhost/freelance/ps/home/ instead of: http://localhost/freelance/ps/index.php/home/

this is so frustrating, I’ve been trying to get this to work for a couple days now and the mod_rewrite docs are a little over my head. seems like it should be easy.

my current (non-working) file looks like this:

Anything that I might be missing?

just to make sure, http://localhost/freelance/ps/index.php/home/without use of .htaccess works ?

Then, what error do You get when using the .htaccess ?

http://localhost/freelance/ps/index.php/home/
works with or without the .htaccess file

with .htaccess
http://localhost/freelance/ps/home/
throws a 404 (The requested URL /index.php/home was not found on this server.)

without .htaccess
http://localhost/freelance/ps/home
throws a 404 (The requested URL /freelance/ps/home was not found on this server.)

http://localhost/freelance/ps/index.php and http://localhost/freelance/ps/ both seem to work and are pointing to my default controller.

这个原理我不懂...嘿嘿

Your Rewrite script works, but it points to http://localhost/index.php/home

Try without the line RewriteBase (haven’t You started like that ?)

Do You use any symbolic links ? Try using the line

If it’s not one of the above I cannot think of something else.

Don’t remove rewritebase, remove the leading slash in the rewriterule. The example htaccess assumes CI is installed in webroot (hence the lack of a rewritebase).

Thanks noctrum, yeah, that should it be.

YES!! it was the leading slash. A big thank you to the both of you. 

First time before using Tank Auth I found it in Codeigniter Wiki list. At the moment Tank Auth is removed from list http://codeigniter.com/wiki/Category:Contributions::Libraries::Authentication/

Is it end of Support Tank Auth by Gromozeka or something else?

I tried this all. but found nothing working.
my codeigniter application is in /var/www/healthengine/employee folder.

Thanks in advance.

I used these in my htaccess.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|captcha|css|js|user_guide|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

it should work. actually this is the same thing used by the previous posters
