remove index.php file in CI ubuntu 12.04

Question

I want to remove the index.php file from file path in CI . I am using ubuntu 12.04 . I tried almost all the forum result but no sucess .

I place the CI folder at this path .

http://localhost/xxx/CI/

I have apache rewrite mod enable .

sudo a2enmod rewrite
Module rewrite already enabled

I also have this in my conf.php file

$config['uri_protocol'] = 'AUTO';
$config['base_url'] = 'http://localhost/xxx/CI/'; 
$config['index_page'] = '';
$config['index_url'] = '';

I have this in my .htaccess file

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

.htaccess file is at this path

http://localhost/xxx/CI/.htaccess

and it is enable too through apache

/etc/apache2/sites-available/default
AllowOverride All

I get this error when i access the file like this

 http://localhost/xxx/CI/login/
 404 Error
 The requested URL /xxx/CI/login/ was not found on this server.

Any help will be appreciated .

Thanks

Answer 1

Try using the .htaccess file below:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /xxx/CI/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . index.php [L,QSA]

Then, change your uri_protocol from AUTO to PATH_INFO :

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

If that starts re-routing everything to the default controller, then change it to ORIG_PATH_INFO :

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

Additional Information

Insert these lines into your file:

Options -Multiviews +FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All

Try below:

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

And check "rewrite_module" of apache must be enabled.

and index_page in your config should be blank $config['index_page'] = '';

Do you have this code in your htaccess file

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
