.htaccess is not working on cpanel

Question

Here is my .htaccess for localhost:8080 which is working fine.

# Deny OR Allow Folder Indexes.
# Since we disable access to PHP files you 
# can leave this on without worries. 
# OR better yet, create a .htaccess file in
# the dir you want to allow browsing and
# set it to +Indexes
Options -Indexes

Options +FollowSymLinks

# Set the default file for indexes
DirectoryIndex index.php

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    # mod_rewrite rules
    RewriteEngine on

    # The RewriteBase of the system (if you are using this sytem in a sub-folder).
     RewriteBase /rectangle/

    # If the file is NOT the index.php file
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !index.php
    # Hide all PHP files so none can be accessed by HTTP
    RewriteRule (.*)\.php$ index.php/$1

    # If the file/dir is NOT real go to index
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [QSA,L]

</IfModule>

# If Mod_ewrite is NOT installed go to index.php
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
    ErrorDocument 404 index.php
</IfModule> 

And this is my .htaccess for www.sunrisecoachingcenter.com which is showing the following link

# Deny OR Allow Folder Indexes.
# Since we disable access to PHP files you 
# can leave this on without worries. 
# OR better yet, create a .htaccess file in
# the dir you want to allow browsing and
# set it to +Indexes
Options -Indexes

Options +FollowSymLinks

# Set the default file for indexes
DirectoryIndex index.php

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    # mod_rewrite rules
    RewriteEngine on

    # The RewriteBase of the system (if you are using this sytem in a sub-folder).
     RewriteBase /www.sunrisecoachingcenter.com/

    # If the file is NOT the index.php file
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !index.php
    # Hide all PHP files so none can be accessed by HTTP
    RewriteRule (.*)\.php$ index.php/$1

    # If the file/dir is NOT real go to index
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [QSA,L]

</IfModule>

# If Mod_ewrite is NOT installed go to index.php
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
    ErrorDocument 404 index.php
</IfModule>

What can I do now?

Answer 1

The rewrite base doesn't need your URL as I presume you are accessing it from public_html. Change it to RewriteBase /

Answer 2

On localhost this will work:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /rectangle/

But whenever we are in live server we must use this

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.sunrisecoachingcenter\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://sunrisecoachingcenter.com/$1 [L,R=301]

or

  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sunrisecoachingcenter\.com$ [NC]
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.sunrisecoachingcenter.com/$1 [L,R=301]

It worked for me. I think it will help the others.

Answer 3

You have error with the following line:

RewriteBase /www.sunrisecoachingcenter.com/

Try removing this as it may produce errors with your website.

RewriteBase is only used to fix cases where .htaccess is placed not at the root of a site and it guesses the wrong web path for the folder it is running in. So if you have a .htaccess in a folder that can be accessed at http://example.com/sunrise/ you can use:

RewriteBase sunrise

On your localhost - it's correct.
