Problem with htaccess file

My htaccess code to remove index.php from my url is messing with an app I have on my server. To access the app, I usually type:

http://mydomain.com/appdirectory/

However this is redirecting to my home page because of the index.php remove code. I know nothing about how the code works, but I have narrowed it down to the very last line in this code:

# Remove index.php
# Uses the "include method"
# <a href="http://expressionengine.com/wiki/Remove_index.php_From_URLs/#Include_List_Method">http://expressionengine.com/wiki/Remove_index.php_From_URLs/#Include_List_Method</a>
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,5})$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(archive|home|stories|videos||P[0-9]{2,8}) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

if I comment it out like this, it works:

# Remove index.php
# Uses the "include method"
# <a href="http://expressionengine.com/wiki/Remove_index.php_From_URLs/#Include_List_Method">http://expressionengine.com/wiki/Remove_index.php_From_URLs/#Include_List_Method</a>
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,5})$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(archive|home|stories|videos||P[0-9]{2,8}) [NC]
# RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

What exactly is that last line doing and how can I fix this? Thx.

Hey Vacquah,

Not sure what exactly that last line does, but I use this .htaccess code to remove index.php:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
        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]

        # If 404s, "No Input File" or every URL returns the same thing
        # make it /index.php?/$1 above (add the question mark)
</IfModule>

Perhaps that won’t affect your app (I know the same line is in there - but it may function differently and not affect your app)!

Good luck,
Drew

This also solved my problems with Flexi Auth and a wonky .htaccess file immediately. Thanks for this.

Hi all,

Im still currently having problem with the mod_rewrite. I’m currently using version 2.3.1. I tried everything, but i still get the index.php.

Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thanks
