Essentially, we moved from a windows box on godaddy to a linux box.  That’s when we got “No File Specified” on every single page except the home page.  I have followed the other threads to no avail.  Apparently when they moved our site over they didn’t copy the .htaccess file with it and now I have to recreate it.  Only it’s not that simple.  Nothing I do is working. 

This may be a simple fix but I’m unsure how to format the .htaccess file so that it works again.  Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!!!

We’re running EE 1.6.9 Build:  20100430.  We have purchased the upgrade to 1.7.1 but I haven’t installed it yet.  Could that also fix the issue?

Well I used this in my .htaccess file and it worked:

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

producing this string: http://www.mysite.com/index.php?/site/template/

because I have also enabled “Forcing Query Strings” in the control panel.

The path should be http://mysite.com/index.php/site/template

but it’s producing http://mysite.com/index.php?/site/template

not crazy about the “?” being there… but it works.  How can I remove that?

Hi, jeramiah.

You’d instead totally remove the index.php? via .htaccess, not the ? part of things. Sounds like you’re OK now though. If anything else comes up, please do let us know in a new thread..
