Codeigniter mod-rewrite in apache, removing index.php - apache

Question

So I am quite new to codeigniter and I have been trying to get my head around removing the index.php from my local site, I have managed to make it work for the homepage after looking through other similar questions on SO but none have got it fully working. Whenever I visit another page on my site it displays the wamp page on my screen. Here is my code in codeigniter/.htaccess
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
# !IMPORTANT! Set your RewriteBase here and don't forget trailing and leading
# slashes.
# If your page resides at
# http://www.example.com/mypage/test1
# then use
# RewriteBase /mypage/test1/
RewriteBase /
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.
# Submitted by: ElliotHaughin
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>
I have also put in my apache/conf/httpd.conf
<Directory />
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
But still no luck, is there something I've missed? Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Follow the following step:
1. Change the config file like this:
$config['index_page'] = '';
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'AUTO';
2.Use the following .htaccess:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|resources|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
Note: .htaccess vary depending on server. I some server (e.g.: Godaddy) need to use the following .htaccess:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|resources|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L,QSA]

Answer 2

Use this .htaccess works on most servers
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .* index.php/$0 [PT,L]
# RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
# RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
You can uncomment the last 2 lines to force HTTPS.
Also this could also work
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /foldername/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^application.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>
Note line 3 of the 2nd .htaccess RewriteBase /foldername/ use this RewriteBase / if your script can be reached without including a folder name.
