I have a slight issue. I have configured my default controller as :
c$route['default_controller'] = 'news';
so when I point my browser to http://localhost/mysite all the news get loaded as instructed by the news controller.
Now on this page, I have given links to "read article" to read the full article. For this I have to point my browser to http://localhost/index.php/news/view/news-slug. I want to remove index.php from the url. I had already tried re-routing using wildcard without any success. Can you tell me how to do that?
There is a documentation on removing the index.php from the URL if you are using Apache with it's mod_rewrite:
Removing the index.php file
Using the following rewrite code:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
Also, there are many similar questions to yours, have a look at these questions from the search:

You need to define your .htaccess file for this. Check this wiki: http://codeigniter.com/wiki/mod_rewrite

I have read a lot on stack about rewriterule and how it applies and I've tried reading up on some good articles online but I still cannot wrap my head around a few things.
I have blogs setup where all folders are in
https://domain.ca/posts/post-tree/*
So I've setup htaccess like this
RewriteRule ^posts/post-tree/(.*)$ /index.php?$1 [R=301]
As I'm sure you can guess this basically brings me root index.php where I catch this request with a $_GET to know the name of the blog folder it was requesting.
This is fine I can hit index.php and with $_GET I know the blog page they requested.
What I do not get, and I've tried a lot of things, is once I have this request in index.php how do I re-write the URL to show something like https://domain.ca/blogpage/ instead of looking like https://domain.ca/index.php? where https://domain.ca/blogpage/ does not really exist of course, but it is because I want to hide the http://domain.ca/posts/post-tree/ path.
Its a little like when wordpress processes a blog page with the id and after rewrites the url to whatever slug is set for that blog page. at least my understanding of it as they don't have individual folders for blogs, but I do.
I finally got this working with the following in the htaccess file
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
# the above checks if file or folder exists, if not the below is processed
# this will route to base index file and fetch $1 folder via $_GET
RewriteRule . /posts/post-tree/index.php?$1
I believe that I already did all the important thing to set up the custom route in codeigniter but I still don't know why I always get 404 error.
The current url I can access is: http://localhost:8080/project/api/profile_test/
And I want to rewrite it as: http://localhost:8080/project/api/users/
I've added this code in the route.php but still not working: $route[‘users’] = 'profile_test';
My .htaccess is:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?$1 [L]
I already set the AllowOverride All and remove the index.php in $config['index_page'] = '';. But still not working.
I’m almost 8 hours for this with this little thing and I need help to the one who knows it.
What am I missing? Any help is much appreciated.
In Codeigniter, a route consists of 3 parts:
the URL
the controller name
the method name
The docs explain it well.
So, if your project's root is http://localhost:8080/, for a URL like project/api/users/, to be handled by a controller (located in application/controllers/) called Profile_test and a method called index, you would need a route like:
$route['/project/api/users'] = 'profile_test/index';
Note that the controller file and class must be capitalised, as described in the docs, so for example controllers/Profile_test.php.
If your project's root is http://localhost:8080/project, you would change that to:
$route['/api/users'] = 'profile_test/index';
If your controller is located in a subdirectory like application/controllers/api/, you would change that to:
$route['/project/api/users'] = 'api/profile_test/index';
Also make sure you are using normal single quotes. Some of the code you include in your question includes 'smart' quotes: $route[‘users’] which will not work in PHP.
I implemented the wiredesignz HVMC functionality in CI 2.1.7.
The only problem, is that, unlike the tutorial I followed(http://somethingstatic.com/setting-hmvc-codeigniter-2-1/), I have to add 'index.php' in my url:
how it should be according to the tutorial:
http://localhost/site/hmvc
What I actually have to call:
http://localhost/site/index.php/hmvc
How can I configure CI so the 'index.php' is not needed?
You need not to do anything extra. this link will help you to get this thing done. Just normal procedure. I done multiple times with the same one.
Hope this helps you.

OK...
I have setup things so that when the following page is requested (browser users and servers)
http://www.visualise.ca/?_escaped_fragment_=corona
the website returns the following the content of this (HTML snapshot)
http://www.visualise.ca/corona
Where 'corona' always change, it varies depending on the page the users or servers are requesting. It could also be
http://www.visualise.ca/?_escaped_fragment_=anne-au-cherry
redirecting to
http://www.visualise.ca/anne-au-cherry
Thanks
UPDATE: OK let me be more clear. I use AJAX to load my Wordpress post and they appear like this http://www.visualise.ca/#!/corona when loaded. But it's not crawlable by Google that request to serv them as http://www.visualise.ca/?_escaped_fragment_=corona so I modified Wordpress to do so. Now Google can crawl my page and index its content and accessing the HTML snapshot available at http://www.visualise.ca/corona.
The problem is that when I paste the http://www.visualise.ca/#!/corona link to facebook it seems to read the http://www.visualise.ca/?_escaped_fragment_=corona and is unable to read the content. But when I paste directly the http://www.visualise.ca/?_escaped_fragment_=corona link it works, it reads http://www.visualise.ca/corona (The HTML).
So I thought maybe if I could redirect http://www.visualise.ca/?_escaped_fragment_=corona to http://www.visualise.ca/corona it would solve my problem.
Here is the existing .htaccess file
#--- DH-PHP handlers ---
AddHandler fastcgi-script fcg fcgi fpl
AddHandler php-fastcgi .php
Action php-fastcgi /cgi-bin/dispatch.fcgi
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
The common mistake that a lot of people do is trying to match whole URL including query string. The reality is: when matching URL, the pattern get applied to path part of it and query string has to be matched separately.
Use this rule: it will issue 301 Permanent Redirect from this kind of URL /?_escaped_fragment_=corona to /corona (where corona can be anything).
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^_escaped_fragment_=([^&]*)
RewriteRule .* http://%{HTTP_HOST}/%1? [R=301,L]
I guess your question is really "how do I do this kind of redirection?". So the answer is here:
There are three ways that I could think of, each with slight differences.
Doing the redirection server side
This basically means you set redirect headers in your response. In php, you could do this using the header function. It can also do a delayed redirect, in which case you need to worry about the contents of the page.
Doing it using client side using html's "http-equiv" meta tags. This way the page always gets loaded. Example here.
doing it via javascript. Thats you basic document.location.href thing. You need to figure out a way to pass the argument to javascript, or have your JS read it from the address url itself.
Since I've shown you 3 ways of doing this, I really hope that's what you're looking for :P
Update after seeing the comments:
The above methods will cause the URL to change. If you don't want the URL to change, but show the contents of that other page on your original page, you caould either do that using iframes (baaaad), or do the decent thing and set up URL rewriting.
:)
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule \?_escaped_fragment_=(.*?) /$1 [L,R=301]
is it what are you looking for?
I'm experimenting with codeigniter but don't really understand how links work.
for example, I have a link like this:
localhost/ci/welcome/cat/7
My base url is localhost/ci, so by clicking on this link I would expect the method "cat" of controller "welcome" to be called.
This method is very simple:
function cat()
{
echo "just a test.";
}
Pretty basic - I would expect to see the text on screen, but I just see a 404 -page not found error.
What could be the problem?
http://localhost/ci/index.php/welcome/cat/7
Have you configured mod_rewrite (or URL rewriting in general) properly for CodeIgniter? It's not supported out of the box.
They have some instructions in their wiki.
I had problems with the rewrite rule suggested in the user guide. I was also getting 404s. I had to remove the slash before index.php in the rule.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
As Veeti says, also remember to enable mod_rewrite for Apache.
