Yii:: redirect www.domain.com/index.php to www.domain.com without using htaccess

Question

I have a requirement where I need to redirect

domain.com/index.php, www.domain.com/index.php & www.domain.com/index/ to www.domain.com

My application is not using .htaccess file. It has to be done with php only.

Answer 1

I guess no solution without .htaccess file , so build one

Set main.php in your yii configuration, at component :

'urlManager'=>array(
    'urlFormat'=>'path',
    'showScriptName'=>false,
     'caseSensitive'=>false,        
),

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

to be

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

then go to .htaccess file, and try to modify to be:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)\?*$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]

if above does not work try with this:

RewriteEngine on

# if a directory or a file exists, use it directly
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

# otherwise forward it to index.php
RewriteRule . index.php

move .htaccess file to root directory, where is index.php resides.

www - protected - index.php - .htaccess

Restart your server and then all things will work
