How to remove "index.php" in codeigniter's path

My "/etc/apache2/sites-available/default" is look like this:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

    DocumentRoot /var/www
    <Directory />
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None 
        </Directory>
    <Directory /var/www/>
        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 ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log

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

    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Any help appreciated!!

And, lastly, what error do you get. I suspect "Object Not Found"? — Mike Rockétt

@MikeAnthony i am getting "The requested URL /projectname/aboutus was not found on this server." — Suresh Kamrushi

And the other questions? Also, what happens when you visit the projectname root? And, what happens when you visit the root of the host (localhost)? — Mike Rockétt

Step 1 :

Add this in htaccess file

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On
  #RewriteBase /

  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteRule ^ index.php [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

Step 2 :

Remove index.php in codeigniter config

$config['base_url'] = ''; 
$config['index_page'] = '';

Step 3 :

Allow overriding htaccess in Apache Configuration (Command)

sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

and edit the file & change to

AllowOverride All

for www folder

Step 4 :

Enabled apache mod rewrite (Command)

sudo a2enmod rewrite

Step 5 :

Restart Apache (Command)

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

In application/config/config.php change:

$config['index_page'] = 'index.php';

to:

$config['index_page'] = '';

it is a good idea to do apache reload everytime you change an apache config file.

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload

or:

sudo service apache2 reload

or:

sudo /etc/init.d/httpd reload

(or whatever is the equivalent command for your platform)

for what it is worth, here is my .htaccess

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|static|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico|uploads|googlexxxxxxxx\.html|mobile.html)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

I tried this no success

blu Over a year ago

change httpd.conf, AllowOverride None -> AllowOverride All

Mike Rockétt Over a year ago

It looks like it already is: See <Directory /var/www/> in the asker's code.

Suresh Kamrushi Over a year ago

@blu: i change "AllowOverride None" to "AllowOverride All" and restarted my apache but no success.

blu Over a year ago

create a new directory, test your web server supports rewrite.
