Question

I’ve been working on a codeigniter application. When I first started developing it I used the following url structure:

http://somewebsite.com/application/login/

I changed the site to run over https

https://www.somewebsite.com/application/login/

The problem is any calls to the server only work like this.

https://www.somewebsite.com/application/index.php/login/

I want to get rid of the index.php. Any thoughts?

You need to have you .htaccess rewrite SSL properly. This is an .htaccess I use that works – although it FORCES SSL. Not sure if you want to do that:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On

#Force SSL
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://yourdomain.com/$1 [R,L]

#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

#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.
