Hi, I'm experimenting with CodeIgniter PHP framework, this framework works like:

http://localhost:7777/~dhalsim/ci/index.php/blog

So, I tried to remove index.php part from there. So far I do these:

  1. make $config['index_page'] = "index.php"; to $config['index_page'] = "";

  2. make $config['uri_protocol'] = "REQUEST_URI"; from $config['uri_protocol'] = "AUTO";

  3. enable apache mod_rewrite by "a2enmod rewrite"

  4. put a .htaccess file to /ci directory:

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
    
  5. And of course restart apache server

Here is my apache logs with these configurations:

Here is the result in Firefox:

404 Not Found:
The requested URL /index.php was not found on this server.


So, what should I do (or where am I wrong) to get work these URLs? http://localhost:7777/~dhalsim/ci/blog/ instead of http://localhost:7777/~dhalsim/ci/index.php/blog/

A: 

Here is how i resolve it:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|flash|css|js|robots\.txt|downloads)

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

Then in the config.php file

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Base Site URL
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| URL to your CodeIgniter root. Typically this will be your base URL,
| WITH a trailing slash:
|
|   http://example.com/
|
*/
$config['base_url'] = "http://localhost:7777/~dhalsim/ci/";

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Index File
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Typically this will be your index.php file, unless you've renamed it to
| something else. If you are using mod_rewrite to remove the page set this
| variable so that it is blank.
|
*/
$config['index_page'] = "";

UPDATE

In the routes.php file:

//Point to default controller
$route['default_controller']    = "site/home"; //Set to your controller

// Point to the right controller
$routing_array = array(
      'blog' => 'site/blog',
     ); // set to your blog controler
Shadi Almosri
$config['uri_protocol'] = "AUTO";
Shadi Almosri
didn't work for me, sorry
dhalsim
$config['base_url'] = "http://localhost:7777/~dhalsim/ci/"; //is this set?
Shadi Almosri
i added some more updates to the answer...
Shadi Almosri
actually my $route['default_controller'] is$config['base_url'] = "http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];$config['base_url'] .= str_replace(basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']),"",$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']); and $route['default_controller'] = "blog"; //my controllerbut didn't get what $routing_array is for.

A: 

Use the following Rewrite Rule:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [NC,L]

In order for this to work you should setup your CodeIgniter app on a different port or use /etc/hosts to give it a simple Vhost (127.0.0.1 ci and http://ci:7777/ with Apache set to use the ci vhost.). Then you can set the base url to / and not worry about it. Otherwise you're going to have to deal with confusing directory issues and mod_rewrite.
