Removing a index.php from codeginiter url using htaccess not working on server

Question

.htaccess code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

also change in config file:

$config['index_page'] = ' ';

$config['uri_protocol'] = "REQUEST_URI";

mod_rewrite is also enabled. although this code doesn't work.

Answer 1

Change this

In 'config.php`

$config['base_url'] = '';
$config['index_page'] = ''
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'AUTO';

.htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L] 
</IfModule>

and accessing URL should with base_url() function.

ex <form action="<?php echo base_url()?>Controller_name/Method_name"

Note: To use base_url() you have to enable it on autoload.php

$autoload['helper'] = array('url');

Answer 2

You cannot use the REQUEST_URI protocol when you are asking Apache to send the URI to the QUERY_STRING.

So either change your .htaccess or your config so they match. My recommendation is to change .htaccess:

RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]

Answer 3

Have you tried giving AUTO instead of REQUEST_URI. Even i had a similar problem but got solved when i changed it to AUTO and small change in .htaccess in my case.

$config['index_page'] = '';

$config['uri_protocol'] = 'AUTO';

.htaccess-

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|public|\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?$1

OR

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .* index.php/$0 [PT,L] 

If doesn't works for your case sorry.

I have running CI 3 Application and working fine with this .htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    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]
