I’ve just moved a client with an EE 1.7 site over to GoDaddy. On the old host, mod_rewrite wasn’t supported, so we used the index.php/ url scheme for all pages.

However, after the move, we kept getting a “No input file” error on all pages other than the homepage. After combing through the forums here, I was able to get around that by adding an .htaccess file with the following

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

And removing the index.php/ from the system preferences in the CP.

However, since the pages are all indexed on search engines with the index.php/ in place we have the opposite problem when folks follow those (or bookmarked) links they get the “No input file” error if index.php/ is in the URL.

It’s not critical to have or not have the index.php in the URL; however, we definitely don’t want people coming to the site from a search engine or bookmarks to get an error page.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Panchesco,
You’re going to have to have Google re-index you, I’d tend also to view your stats and do a re-direct in your .htaccess file for the most common links.

Unfortunately doing that sort of rewrite in beyond the scope of official support, but I can move this to the Community Help forum for additional community support.
