How to remove index.php in codeigniter on ubuntu server?

Question

I have researched on all the question on stackoverflow to remove index.php from codeigniter but still i am unable to do it. Only landing page opens but rest of the pages are blank. I m using own ubuntu linux server. My rewrite module is also on. I tried $config['uri_protocol'] with all possible values. AUTO, PATH_INFO, QUERY_STRING, ORIG_PATH_INFO. My htaccess code is here

RewriteEngine on
AddType text/x-component .htc
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

vhost file is here

DocumentRoot /home/black-sheep/black-sheep.org

    <Directory />
            Options FollowSymLinks
            AllowOverride FileInfo
    </Directory>

    <Directory /home/black-sheep/black-sheep.org/>
            Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
            AllowOverride All
            Order allow,deny
            allow from all
    </Directory>


    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
    <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
            AllowOverride None
            Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
            Order allow,deny
            Allow from all
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log

    # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
    # alert, emerg.
    LogLevel warn

    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined

My website url is

http://black-sheep.org/

This is the path when i echo __FILE__ on index.php

/home/black-sheep/black-sheep.org/index.php

Its amazing that wordpress site on same server without index.php is running good with following htaccess.

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

I tried with this htaccess also but it doesn't work for me.

Please suggest me the solution. Thanks in advance

is mod_rewrite enabled ?

I have same problem. And I fix it. You must add .htaccess file in root directory of your site

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

And main you must change site conf in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf.
Search Directory /var/www/ Change AllowOverride None -> AllowOverride All

<Directory /var/www/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>

what is the value you have added on $config['index_page'] on config.php

Krishna Karki Over a year ago

It is CI default AUTO

Anish Over a year ago

can you make it as $config['index_page'] == '' ; Let me know if still problem exists

I was facing the same problem but able to correct it. I am giving you the full instruction. follow step by step..

First check whether mod_rewrite is on or not from Terminal by typing the below command :

sudo a2enmod rewrite

Then open file apache2.conf which is located in the below mentioned directory

/etc/apache2/apache2.conf

Find <Directory /var/www/> in the file and change AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All

If it is not allowing you to save the file, that means the directory don't have the required permission. so please give that by running the below command.

sudo chmod -R 777 /etc/apache2/ and then save the file.

Now write your .htaccess file and save the file by placing the below codes.

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

Then restart your apache service once by the below command

sudo service apache2 restart

Hopefully, then it will work...
