Question

I know there are already several other posts for this topic, but I’ve tried everything they’ve said and I can’t seem to get it to work.

I have the php kohana framework installed in http://localhost/kohana and it’s working. The problem is that I can’t get the /index.php/ removed from my URL.

I have tried importing the .htaccess file form the install into IIS URL Rewrite module, but no luck.

My bootstrap is the following

Kohana::init(array(
'base_url'   => '/kohana',
'index_file' => ''
));

My web.config that I have put in my /kohana direcotry looks like so

<configuration>
<system.webServer>
    <rewrite>
        <rules>
            <rule name="Imported Rule 1" stopProcessing="true">
                <match url="^(?:application|modules|system)\b.*" ignoreCase="false" />
                <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php/{R:0}" />
            </rule>
            <rule name="Imported Rule 2">
                <match url=".*" ignoreCase="false" />
                <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
                    <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
                    <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
                </conditions>
                <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php/{R:0}" />
            </rule>
        </rules>
    </rewrite>
</system.webServer>

I have also tried the rewrite rules on this page

Nothing seems to work. If I go to http://localhost/kohana/index.php/welcome it works. If I go to http://localhost/kohana/welcome I get a 404 error from IIS (not a 404 in kohana).

I feel like I’m beating my head against the wall, any ideas?

Answer 1

I just gave up and went with Apache on my Windows server. Removing the index.php worked like a charm on the first try.
