CodeIgniter htaccess and URL rewrite issues

Question

I have never used CodeIgniter before  let alone ANY php framework and I thought I would give it a try  Everything is going fine except I cannot seem to remove the index php from the URL and still access my pages    I have never used the MVC structure so I am learning as I go  so forgive me if I m doing this wrong   I am trying to access a view I created called  about page php  by simply typing in localhost ci about but currently I can only access it by using localhost ci index php about  The controller for the page is   application controllers about php  The Model for the page is   application models about model php  And the View for the page is   application views about page php  I have searched for a solution to this issue  but haven t been able to find one  Here is where I have already searched   CodeIgniter - removing index php Codeigniter - how to remove the index php from url  http   www farinspace com codeigniter-htaccess-file   CodeIgniter comes with a  htaccess file in the  application  folder which contains only Allow Deny From All  So I created a new  htaccess file in the root directory  http   localhost ci  htaccess and added this code to it   RewriteEngine On RewriteBase  ci RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -f RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -d RewriteRule        index php  1  L    When the  htaccess file is in the root directory I get a 500 Internal Server Error  When I copy the exact same file into the applications folder the 500 error goes away  but I still cannot access the about page by using localhost ci about  I have already changed  config  index page      index php   to  config  index page         AND I tried changing  config  uri protocol         AUTO   to  config  uri protocol       REQUEST URI   but I am still getting the Internal Server Error   I went into the httpd conf file and uncommented the mod rewrite so module so I know mod rewrite is active   Does anyone have any ideas why this isn t working or how I can get this work  I know there are alot of questions on StackOverflow on this subject but I couldn t find one that answered my question    Am I doing this right  Should I even be able to access the about page by visiting localhost ci about or do I have to create an  about  directory in the  application  directory

There are 3 steps to remove index php    Make below changes in application config php file   config  base url      http       SERVER  SERVER NAME     Your Ci folder name    config  index page          config  uri protocol      AUTO    Make  htaccess file in your root directory using below code  RewriteEngine on RewriteCond  1    index  php resources robots  txt  RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -f RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -d RewriteRule        index php  1  L QSA   Enable the rewrite engine  if not already enabled    i  First  initiate it with the following command   a2enmod rewrite   ii  Edit the file  etc apache2 sites-enabled 000-default  Change all AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All   Note  In latest version you need to change in  etc apache2 apache2 conf file  iii  Restart your server with the following command   sudo  etc init d apache2 restart

I had similar issue on Linux Ubuntu 14   After constant 403 error messages in the browser and reading all answers here I could not figure out what was wrong   Then I have reached for apache s error log  and finally got a hint that was a bit unexpected but perfectly logical   the codeIgniter main folder had no X permission on folder rendering everything else unreadable by web server   chmod ugo x yourCodeIgniterFolder  fixed first problem  Killed 403 errors   But then I started getting error 500    Culprit was a wrong settings line in  htaccess   Then I started getting php errors   Culprit was same problem as main folder no X flag for  others  permission for inner folders in application and system folders   My two cents for this question  READ Apache Error log    But  also be aware of security issues  CodeIgniter suggests moving application and system folder out of web space therefore changing permissions shall be taken with a great care if these folders remain in web space   Another thing worth mentioning here is that I have unzipped downloaded CodeIgniter archive directly to the web space  Folder permissions are likely created straight from the archive  As given they are secure  but folder access issue  on unix like systems  is not mentioned in CodeIgniter manual https   codeigniter com user guide installation index html and perhaps it shall be mentioned there with guidelines on how to relax security for CodeIgniter to work while keeping security tight for the production system  some security hints are already there in the manual as mentioned beforehand

Your  htaccess is slightly off  Look at mine    RewriteEngine On  RewriteBase  codeigniter      RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -f   RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -d   RewriteCond  1    index  php images robots  txt css docs js system    RewriteRule         codeigniter index php   1  L    Notice  codeigniter  in two places   after that  in your config   base url    http   localhost codeigniter  index        Change codeigniter to  ci  whereever appropriate

I am using something like this - codeigniter-htaccess-file  its a good article to begin with     leave the  htaccess file in CI root dir  make sure that mod rewrite is on check for typos  ie  controller file class name  in  application config config php set  config  index page           in  application config routes php set your default controller  route  default controller    home     If you are running clean installation of CI  2 1 3  there isn t really much that could be wrong    2 config files  controller   htaccess mod rewrite   read   Codeigniter  htaccess   redirect-index-php-in-codeigniter

By default the below sits in the application folder  move it like suggested into the root dir   leave the  htaccess file in CI root dir

This works for me  Move your  htaccess file to root folder  locate before application folder in my case   RewriteEngine on RewriteBase  yourProjectFolder RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -f RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -d RewriteRule    index php  0  PT L    Mine config php looks like this  application config config php    config  base url          config  index page      index php    config  uri protocol      AUTO     Let me know if its working for you guys too   Cheers
