I followed the user guide (http://expressionengine.com/user_guide/general/remove_index.php.html) to remove index.php from the url and now my site is completely down. I can't even access the the system directory. I'm not sure what went wrong. I've tried different .htaccess version and removing the htaccess file, but nothing works. EE requires you in the admin panel to change the name of your site’s index page to be blank, which it seems has completely messed up everything now. Since I can't access the CMS to change the field for the sites index page, is there a way to access file and hard code it manually or somewhere in the database I can fix the problem.
My site is running on a MediaTemple GS if that has anything to do with it.
The easiest way is in your config.php file (system/expressionengine/config) look for this line:
$config['index_page'] = "";
Change to:
$config['index_page'] = "index.php";
Once you're up and working again, paste your current htaccess file. Here's the essential bit from my usual build:
# ExpressionEngine rewrite to remove index.php from the URL (but allow EE to access EE folders/files)
# ------------------------------
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(css=.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/%1 [L]
RewriteCond $1 !^(assets|images|themes|favicon\.ico|robots\.txt|index\.php|admin\.php) [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^(ACT=.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

This seems so basic, and there's a plethora of questions regarding .htaccess online, but after two days of research, I still can't make mine work the way I want.
What I want is:
Force https on all requests
Always use the "www" version of the url.
Work on multiple domains (but not redirect them all to a master domain). All my domains point to the same folder (so they'd use the same codebase), and in its root is the .htaccess file.
Remove the "index.php" part of the url, to make it human and SEO friendly.
This is what I have so far:
Start with the basic .htaccess code for CodeIgniter, as shown in the userguide:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1
Originally, the last line had the [L] flag, but I omitted it, so it will continue to the following rules.
(Am I correct in assuming that it takes the url output in the previous RewriteRule, and perform the following matches on it?)
# for non www urls, add www and force https:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}(.*) !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R,L]
# for www urls, just force https:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R,L]
The above code is achieving tasks 1-3 of my list above, but the index.php is still showing in the address bar.
How do I remove it?
Well, I (partially) gave up on .htaccess, and solved my problem in a different way:
I'm now using CodeIgniter hook to deal with forcing https, and leave htaccess to deal only with forcing www and removing index.php
So I removed the last line (RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R,L]), and added an ssl hook to my application, and all is working now.
The hook function, in case anyone is interested, is this:
function force_ssl()
{
if ($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']!='localhost' && $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']!='10.0.2.2')
{
$CI =& get_instance();
$CI->config->config['base_url'] = str_replace('http://', 'https://', $CI->config->config['base_url']);
if ($_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] != 443) redirect($CI->uri->uri_string());
}
}
codeigniter page not found showing but working fine in local server.
I had uploaded codeigniter file of one basic simple page on live server but there it is showing no page found and same file it is working on local server.
In that I had
mine.php ---- controller
index.php --- view
I loaded in routes default controller - mine in config base url- domain.com removed index.php also
.htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
can I know please why it is showing page not found, might be some routing issue but I had loaded default controller also. Please help out on this
First of all start error logging properly so you can see the actuall error.
Change your file name's first letter capital. This is mendetory as explained here ci3 manual - controllers. It says class name as well as file name must start with capital. ( If your Dev machine is windows then it will not show errors if you don't follow this rule. Because window's file system is case insensitive. But on your server it is linux.so it will show error)
If you still don't get it working then try access the url with index.php in it. Temporaryly disable .htaccess .If you get it working then may be you have problem in . htaccess. Try the following link to properly remove index.php from your url. Expression engine forum .This htaccess worked for me on all different server I have used.
add this in .htaccess file
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|asset|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
As some of you may know, Wordpress has an options in settings to allow site installation in a subdirectory, while having the site URL be the main domain. It was something like "Site url" and "Wordpress url". I'm looking for something like this in Joomla. I know there is no inbuilt option for it, but I'd rather not have to move all the files if possible. And please, explain it to me like to a five year old, just in case :)
To move the whole joomla installation to a subfolder on the server (http://example.com/subdir), but still access it from the root (http://example.com) I did the following:
Move your whole installation to the subdir-folder
In configuration.php, set $live_site = "http://example.com";
Also change the tmp and log-folders in configuration.php
Add a .htaccess-file to the root-folder:
(The code is modified from this excellent answer)
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} subdir/
RewriteRule ^subdir/(.*) http://example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !subdir/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /subdir/$1 [L]
Modify the default joomla .htaccess-file, now in the /subdir-folder, to include a RewriteBase:
RewriteBase /subdir/
After these modifications it seems everything works the way it should.
You can override the file /includes/defines.php in your joomla installation. Copy this file to the root folder of your installation, and then change all folder names to how you like your setup.
In /index.php you see how it first checks if /defines.php exists. Then it goes on to load /includes/defines.php if _JDEFINES is not defined. So be sure to include
define('_JDEFINES', 'TRUE');
in your overridden /defines.php-file. Good luck :)
Below is how index.php loads folder definitions:
if (file_exists(__DIR__ . '/defines.php')){
include_once __DIR__ . '/defines.php';
}
if (!defined('_JDEFINES')){
define('JPATH_BASE', __DIR__);
require_once JPATH_BASE . '/includes/defines.php';
}
I see now that you are able to override folder locations in /administrator in a similar matter, copy /administrator/includes/defines.php to /administrator and override folders here.
I have used an extension called Virtual Domains for this before. According to them it provides
Multi-domain capability for Joomla without changing the Joomla core
files.
. Which I have made use of previously and it works well
I first tried the accepted answer. However, that answer also redirects existing files and folders to the new subdir.
For this reason I used:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?example.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/subdir/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /subdir/$1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?example.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ subdir/index.php [L]
instead.
I'm aware that this is not the best solution as it doesn't hide the sub directory properly. However, it allows to keep the existing code on that site working.
I am new to CodeIgniter. I have an XAMPP server on Windows 8. Everything is fine, but the problem is about my URL, it doesn't look friendly. It looks like localhost/ci/index.php/site/home (where ci is my root folder for CodeIgniter). I want to make the URL more clean, like localhost/ci/home, how can I do it?
My CodeIgniter version is 2.1.2.
I have done some research already, but in most of the cases it says to change the .htaccess file of CodeIgniter. But I have nothing in the .htaccess file; it's empty, except the line "Deny from all".
You can do this, in config/config.php:
$config['base_url'] = 'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']; //you can also leave blank this CI tend to find this by himself
$config['index_page'] = '';
And try the following .htaccess. I use it for many sites, and it satisfies me.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
If it is not working yet, use a phpinfo(); and check if mod_rewrite is enabled. If it is not enabled, you can follow the instructions in Stack Overflow question How do you enable mod_rewrite? to enable that.
If it is not working yet and mod_rewrite is enabled yet, you can try to switch these in config/config.php:
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'AUTO'; //If not working, try one of these:
'PATH_INFO' Uses the PATH_INFO
| 'QUERY_STRING' Uses the QUERY_STRING
| 'REQUEST_URI' Uses the REQUEST_URI
| 'ORIG_PATH_INFO' Uses the ORIG_PATH_INFO
You need to replace "Deny from all" with this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/general/urls.html
Looking at the official documentation, CodeIgniter URLs:
You can easily remove this file by using a .htaccess file with some simple rules. Here is an example of such a file, using the "negative" method in which everything is redirected except the specified items:
RewriteEngine on<br>
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)<br>
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]<br>
Also if you are using Apache place .htaccess file in your root web directory. For more information, look in Codeigniter .htaccess.
I'm redeveloping a website using the codeigniter framework.
When we go live, we want to ensure a few of the old URLs will be redirected to the appropriate pages on the new site.
So I put what I thought would be the correct rules into the existing htaccess file, above the other rules that CodeIgniter applies.
However, they are not taking affect. Can anyone suggest what I'm missing here?
# pickup links pointing to the old site structure
RewriteRule ^(faq|contact)\.php$ /info/ [R=301]
RewriteRule ^registration\.php$ /register/ [R=301]
RewriteRule ^update_details\.php$ /change/ [R=301]
# Removes access to the system folder by users.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^_system.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
# This snippet prevents user access to the application folder
# Rename 'application' to your applications folder name.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^myapp.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
# This snippet re-routes everything through index.php, unless
# it's being sent to resources
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|resources)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1
Try adding a [L]ast flag to your R=301 flag => [L,R=301] that makes sure no other rules are applied, and, just to be sure, try to redirect to a complete URL and, to be even more sure you haven't deleted anything, add RewriteEngine On to the top and set the RewriteBase.
Make your first rows look like
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(faq|contact)\.php$ http://www.YOURDOMAIN.XYZ/info/ [L,R=301]
and check if the URL in your browser changes when you call for instance the faq page.
