I was able to successfully install and set up Expression Engine on a client site, but in trying to remove the index.php from the URL, I uploaded an .htaccess file with rewrite directives that I found here:
http://kevinthompson.info/blog/completely-remove-index-php-from-expressionengine-urls/

Then I changed the configuration to leave the index page blank. When the .htaccess method didn’t work, I removed the .htaccess file, and tried to log back into the admin page to undo my previous change to the index page.  Unfortunately, the admin page doesn’t load anymore.  I went into the system config file to set $config[‘index_page’] = “index.php”. 

However, this still didn’t fix the problem.  I can’t seem to log back into the admin page anymore, and I don’t know what’s going on.

Hi daxtorta,

We officially support this method of removing index.php with a htaccess

Just confirming this is the latest version of EE?

In your admin.php which you use to login with can you open it up in your text editor and turn on debugging. Hopefully this will let you see any suppressed errors on your blank page

$debug = 1;

Okay, I figured out the problem.

daxtorta,

Glad you got it worked out. Is there anything else I can assist you with?
