CodeIgniter URL rewriting

Question

I am trying to rewrite the URL of a CodeIgniter application, though it doesn't seem to work. I have the following things set;

$route['pages/(:num)/(:any)'] = "pages/view/$1/$2";
$config['index_page'] = '';

Then I have the following .htaccess;

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^pages/(.*)/(.*)$ /index.php/pages/view/$1/$2 [L]

It just says the page is not found (an Apache error, not CodeIgniter). It works when I browse to the original link (http://domain.tld/index.php/pages/view/1/welcome) but not when browsing to the 'desired' link (http://domain.tld/pages/1/welcome).

What am I doing wrong?

I think you need to have htaccess to remove index.php from url and it should work — Sudhir Bastakoti

Not quite, it's not just removing the 'index.php' but also the name of the method; view. — Roel

Have you checked the apache logs to find out what apache is rewriting this to? Additionally you may want the non greedy version of the match for $1 ie ^pages/(.*?)/(.*)$ — Bob Vale

I don't want to sound too dumb, but apparently my server did not support htaccess yet, I changed the apache vhost and now it's working with a little bit of tweaking. — Roel

Try:

$route["pages/(.*)/(.*)"] = "pages/view/$1/$2";
//and your htacess, remove your current rule and
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

Could it be that you are missing a ? in your RewriteRule?

# Substitute " >>?<< " with "?". It's there to point you to the change.
RewriteRule ^pages/(.*)/(.*)$ /index.php >>?<< /pages/view/$1/$2 [L]

Not that, Codeigniter uses the slash format, plus op states that manually using the rewritten version works
