Question

I am using this htaccess file on my site to remove index.php.

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

But this file doesn’t work.Rewriting is enabled in Apache module.Version of codeigniter used is 2.0.1.

Answer 1

I’ve tested this without codeigniter, and it works.

I create a folder under htdocs, called “demo”. I put “.htaccess” there with your content + additional line (RewriteBase):

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

Then “index.php” below:

<?php
echo $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'];

Tested with:
http://localhost/demo/hello

Result:
/hello

Things to check:

• If you put “.htaccess” inside a folder, don’t forget to add
  RewriteBase.
• Make sure FollowSymLinks is enabled for your directory. See this
  link for further information.
