为什么不能将index.php重定向到域？

Question

New .htaccess file (still not working, it sends me to localhost/xampp

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /sample/

# set root to index.php
DirectoryIndex index.php 

# prevent directory listing
Options -Indexes

# remove index.php
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /index\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)index.php$ $1 [R=301,L,NC] 

# removing extensions
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)/?$ $1.php [L]

Old .htaccess file below:

RewriteEngine on

# set root to index.php
DirectoryIndex index.php 

# prevent directory listing
Options -Indexes

# removing extensions
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]

# remove index.php
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index\.php\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ http://localhost/sample/ [R=301,L]

Domain is http://localhost/sample/ . I have tried many things that Google has given me but none of them work. Every time I go to localhost/sample/index.php it doesn't redirect to localhost/sample/ . I also used the Redirect 301 /index.php / .

I tried

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*/index\.php 
RewriteRule ^(.*)index.php$ /$1 [R=301,L] 

But it sends me to http://localhost/xampp/splash.php .

I am still new to .htaccess so I really don't have any idea what I am doing wrong. I've tried the answers that have been given to the questions where the OP said the answer worked.

Answer 1

You can use:

# set root to index.php
DirectoryIndex index.php 
# prevent directory listing
Options -Indexes
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /sample/

# remove index.php
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /index\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)index.php$ $1 [R=301,L,NC] 

# removing extensions
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)/?$ $1.php [L]

RewriteBase /sample/ is needed to make sure redirect happens from raltive path of current directory.

Answer 2

Use this:

RewriteEngine On

# prevent directory listing
Options -Indexes

# allows leaving off the extension (.php) in urls
Options +MultiViews

# removing extensions
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !-d
RewriteRule ^index(\.php)?$ http://localhost/sample [R=301,L]
