hi folks

Right now I’m using the following .htaccess to remove the incredibly ugly /index.php from my EE2 URLs:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond $1 !\.(gif|jpe?g|png)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

… everything works great — except if a entries {url_title} contains punctuation (like: domain.com/news/article/apple-releases-ios-4.0-for-iphones ). The Page will be left blank … but if I add index.php/ by myself into the url, the entry is shown.

Is there a better .htaccess-Code which does not break up these entries with punctuation in the title?

I’m curious…try removing this line from your .htaccess:

RewriteCond $1 !\.(gif|jpe?g|png)$ [NC]

I think this rewrite condition is turning out to be true because of the \.

hi michaelroling
nothing changes if i remove this line … still not working… :-/

Ok, scrap that idea, remove the last line of your htaccess rewrite and replace it with this:

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

The ? may be throwing it.

If i remove the ‘?’, the whole site breaks down! 😉 … else, just and only the entry isn’t showing, the rest of the site works just fine

The htaccess code that I gave you was from this bug report: https://support.ellislab.com/bugs/detail/13120/#8892

It worked for him.

Strange — if I remove the ? the error «No input file specified.» appears and nothing else gets rendered … if i remove the / the page get’s rendered, but without the entry … only the no_results get’s displayed.

btw: If I remove the require_entry=‘yes’ parameter from the exp:channel:entries-loop, the entry get’s displayed (!!!)… but the embeded comments-template does not… and of course there is a lack of usability because the require_entry-parameter isn’t set and the article-template without an entry displays the most current entry instead of 404 or template_group/index.php
