Hello, I’m finishing upgrading a site to EE 2.1.

I’m using the “exclude list” method of index.php removal.

I’ve purchased the Devdemon Channel Images module and am having trouble getting it to work.  Brad says that it may be due to my AJAX ACT url being wrong due to my method of removing index.php.

He says that my link http://domain.com/?ACT=73 should be http://domaint.com/index.php?ACT=73.

My htaccess is: 

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(awsats|bnsys|cgi-bin|cp|css|flash_video|images|mint|modlogan|themes|webalizer|crossdomain\.xml|admin\.php|index\.php|offline\.html|path\.php|robots\.txt|sitemap\.php) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^/index.php/sitemap.php$ sitemap.php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm
<IfModule mod_php.c>
php_value auto_prepend_file /hsphere/local/home/couragenet/couragenet.com/mint/config/auto.php
</IfModule>

Any ideas on how I can get the index.php? added back to the ACT=73 url?

Bruce, yes, you have to specially handle actually three coded URL types, including the ACTs, to keep all EE application and control panel functionality working.

Inserting something like the following at the beginning, just after the RewriteEngine On line and before the rest of your conditions and actions should do the trick.

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(ACT=.*)$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(URL=.*)$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(CSS=.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php\?&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

You may or may not need the \? in the last line, depending on your hosting and site settings.

This information is actually in the Wiki, in the article at http://expressionengine.com/wiki/Remove_index.php_From_URLs/#Include_List_Method.

However, the article is in ‘some’ need of a clarifying edit….
