Url: hide index.php Follow @yiiframework

Maybe it looks simple, but some time ago I need some time to find a solution of this case. I finally got it, and I want to share that I also experienced such cases. So that it can make reference.

Neither let us do the steps:

Make sure that the hosting / your pc mod_rewrite module is active. if not actively try to activate in a way, open the httpd.conf file. You can check this in the phpinfo.php to find out.

change this setting :

#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

to be

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

then go to .htaccess file, and try to modify to be:

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

if above does not work try with this:

RewriteEngine on

# if a directory or a file exists, use it directly
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

# otherwise forward it to index.php
RewriteRule . index.php

move .htaccess file to root directory, where is index.php thare.

www
 - protected
 - index.php
 - .htaccess

Set main.php in your yii configuration, at component :

'urlManager'=>array(
    'urlFormat'=>'path',
    'showScriptName'=>false,
     'caseSensitive'=>false,        
),

so.., good luck

For reference material I managed to do in my personal website (check my profile).

NB: This for hide index.php

Problem with CMenu

It works all over except in CMenu items. CMenu items shows index.php in Url.

I don't know how fix it.

One more thing...

Also, if you're on a virtual directory (e.g. using

Alias /dir/ "/dir/"

on your apache configuration) you MUST use a

RewriteBase /dir/

statement on your .htaccess file, other than the rewrite won't work again.

That Sounds good

Thanks for this great article

I just tried it but I fail first because I forget and put this variables

'urlFormat'=>'path',
    'showScriptName'=>false,
     'caseSensitive'=>false,

inside the array of the rules :)

I just a newbie with YII :) so I'm just confused

Thank you again

win32 apache config

As thiromi said, make sure that you change the "AllowOverride" flag to "All"

#
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
# It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
#   Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
#
**AllowOverride All**

Not only check mod_rewrite instalation

To get mod_rewrite working not only mod_rewrite must be installed, but also check in the Apache directory config (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default on Ubuntu installed via apt-get) if the rule "AllowOverride None" exists in your project's directory config. If so, change it to "AllowOverride All". I have spent hours because of this thing, so it's my tip to get things working.

urlManager

thank you, you are right. This can not be run if not in the main config settings.

Set main.php in your yii configuration, at component :
[php]
'urlManager'=>array(
    'urlFormat'=>'path',
    'showScriptName'=>false,
     'caseSensitive'=>false,        
),

showScriptName will not suffice?

Thanx for pretty formatting, now it's clearer what you want to achieve. Yet, the question is: What is the benefit over setting the built-in paramater for urlManager in configuration:

'showScriptName'=>false,

Unclear purpose, example and .htaccess

Hi, your article is a bit unclear about what is the goal you are trying to reach? Perhaps 1-2 examples would make things clearer:-) Also what is the final content of .htaccess file? (you may want to put it into solid code block pretty formatted). Cheers Lubos
