expressionengine URL rewrite 2.3.1 - codeigniter

In EE 2.2.2 having this in my htaccess file
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/view/$1 [L]
Allowed me to rewrite domain.com/index.php/view/phone to domain.com/phone.
In EE 2.3.1 this no longer works. The problem seems to be with system\codeigniter\system\core\URI.php and I see few things has changed with this file. If I replace URI.php with the 2.2.2 version then it works again. My question is what has changed and how do I get this to work again.

Updated answer
After some time with thoughts (and testing) I've come up with an alternate solution, that might fit your need with the updated EE.
Assuming your rewrite rules are like the following:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
Now, my suggestion is to let your view template group be the index template group.
In your index template in the view template group, you could have the following:
{exp:channel:entries channel="view_channel" require_entry="yes"}
{if no_results}
{embed="a_template_group/my_normal_frontpage"}
{/if}
<DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>{title}</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>{title}</h1>
</body>
</html>
{/exp:channel:entries}
This allows you to, without adding other rewrite rules, have your visitors go to http://example.org/phone and the view/index template will try to find the entry with the entry ID labeled 'phone'. If that entry cannot be found (the {if no_results} part) embed another template. In this case I would assume you'd like to show some sort of frontpage.
This also allows you to, under the view template group, create ordinary templates like view/create_entry which will show up, when you go to http://example.org/create_entry
This should work - and is easy customizable to fit your needs.

rewrite url only and stay on the same page

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

Joomla not finding index.php after

I had turned Use URL rewriting to ON
Added some code in to the ht access file and this never worked.
I then turned off url rewriting and removed the code and now when I try to go to the website I am getting a 404 error.
I can still access /administration
the website is www2.daxtra.com
the page it should find is http://www2.daxtra.com/index.php/home
Does anyone have any ideas what has happened?
This was the code I added:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
Thanks
Right, I've done a small test.
To get what you want, you need to following:
htaccess.txt (you don't need a .htaccess file)
Search Engine Friendly URLs set to On
Use URL rewriting set to Off
You finally need to ensure that your Homepage menu items it set to a specific component such as an article or something else, not an Alias
This will ensure that you get example.com/index.php/home
Hope this helps

IsapiRewrite rules generate strange pages/folders?

i'm using IsapiRewrite from helicontech for my custom classic ASP shopping cart.
My actual httpd.ini file is:
[ISAPI_Rewrite]
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %HTTPS off
RewriteCond Host: (?!^www.domain.com)(.+)
RewriteRule /(.*) http\://www.domain.com/$2 [I,RP]
RewriteRule /httpd(?:\.ini|\.parse\.errors).* / [I,O]
RewriteRule /(.+)-([^-]*)-([^-]*)-([^-]*)\.html$ /detail.asp?brand=$1&model=$2&id=$3&lg=$4 [L]
So i'm actually using this component only to rewrite the product detail page in a nice way.
Lately looking in google cache i find some folders with files inside cached by googleBot that doesn't exist on my server eg: domain.com/carrera-CHAMPION ... and so on.
The page drawn if i access these strange pages is the detail.asp page but without css and some js loaded.
I tested recently the site with Acunetix scanner and seems like he found too these strange folders.
First i added a javascript check to se if Jquery not loaded then that means the page is one of these so i throw an alert and redirect user to homepage ..
Do you know what could be ? or how i could solve this via a rule in httpd.ini?
Hope i make myself clear if no feel free to ask me details,
thank you
Can you confirm that when you disable ISAPI_Rewrite these strange pages/folders disappear?
Please note that ISAPI_Rewrite only rewrites response headers and can't generate anything, so it's highly unlikely to be the cause of the issue.
BTW, your config is the mixture of ISAPI_Rewrite 2 and 3 syntax. If it's v2, please fix it like this:
[ISAPI_Rewrite]
RewriteCond %HTTPS off
RewriteCond Host: (?!www.domain.com).+
RewriteRule /(.*) http\://www.domain.com/$1 [I,RP]
RewriteRule /httpd(?:\.ini|\.parse\.errors).* / [I,O]
RewriteRule /(.+)-([^-]*)-([^-]*)-([^-]*)\.html$ /detail.asp\?brand=$1&model=$2&id=$3&lg=$4 [L]

Upload CodeIgniter project to cpanel

I have worked on that the whole day, but I couldn't find why I always get the CI 404 Page not found. The project works very well in localhost. What could be the problem?
This is my .htaccess
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index.php|css|js|jq|uploads|robots.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
I suspect the default controller can't be found.
What more do you think I should show you?
I will be grateful for your answers.
PD: I use CI 2.1.2
If you've set up everything right, then try changing your last line to: RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/?$1 [L]
EDIT
Since it's not working when you disable .htaccess and use index.php, you need to check your config.php for things like base_url, index_page, uri_protocol, etc... and routes.php and make sure the default controller is not capitalized (read more about the naming conventions, but I wrote you the general idea in the comments).

mod_rewrite espression for multi client application

I have a php application that serves multiple customers. Code is placed in the domain's root and is shared for all customers. Each customer can access it's page by using query string parameter "id".
I need advice and a sample code how to achieve this routing via mod_rewrite or it' better way to do it through php routing script:
Home page:
www.example.com/customerA --> www.example.com/customerA/main?id=1
www.example.com/customerB --> www.example.com/customerB/main?id=4
Note: "main" is main.php file not displaying file extensions.
Customer subfolders are not the real ones.
Inner pages are using additional parameters like:
www.example.com/customerA/page1?id=1&par1=5
On SERVER SIDE all rewrites should be interpreted as www.example.com/main?id=4
without virtual subfolder.
Thanks.
Here's what should work:
RewriteRule ^/customerA /customerA/main?id=1 [QSA,NC,R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^/customerB /customerB/main?id=4 [QSA,NC,R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^/(customer(A|B))/main /main [QSA,NC]
Now that's I've answered precisely to your question, I'm pretty sure it's not what you want.
If you have a lot of customers, I've made a huge answer here of a question that was about films, but you it's about customers, but the principle is exactly the same.
If you want to be more generic:
# if URL is not a real file...
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
# if URL is not a real folder...
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
# ...and if adding "php" points to a real file...
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME}.php -f
# ...then rewrite internally with "php" extension:
RewriteRule (.*) $1.php [QSA,NC]
Hope this helps.
