Remove index.php in codeigniter on ubuntu using htaccess file

Question

Using Apache2 installed on windows 7, I use the htaccess configuration below to remove the index.php from codeigniter url:

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

Could someone please tell why the configuration above does not work on ubuntu. I have enable mod rewrite using sudo a2enmod rewrite. Thanks

No error except I have to add index.php before controller before it can work. example: site.com/login will not work but site.com/index.php/login works. What is weird is that, with the same configuration, site.com/login works perfectly on apache2 installed on windows 7 — lomse

Did you change AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default? drupal.org/node/134439 — stormdrain

yes I did change AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All, rebooted the server but still the same issue — lomse

This is probably because the ubuntu server is setup to pass PATH_INFO, meaning you don't need the query string. You can probably just remove the ? from your rule and it should work:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|resources|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [QSA,L]
# no query string ----------^
