hi,

i know this topic has been discussed several times, but still…

according to google and this website, you should be able to easily remove index.php and the following template name via .htaccess.
however, this does not seem to work for me.

now, i think that is because of me having a rewrite rule already.
sadly, i do not understand these rules good enough to merge them.

could somebody please help me with that?

my current .htaccess looks as follows:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.foo\.com$
RewriteRule (.*) <a href="http://foo.com/$1">http://foo.com/$1</a> [R=Permanent]

AddHandler php4-script .php

and this is the solution i found for removing the index.php ( via ):

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^global/.*
RewriteCond $1 !^images/.*
RewriteCond $1 !^archive/.*
RewriteCond $1 !^expressionengine/.*
RewriteCond $1 !^index\.php.*
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php/$1 [NC,L]

thanks in advance…

This is what mine has

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteCond $1 ^(site|story|member|search|forums|P[0-9]{2,8}) [NC] 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

I pulled this page to do it.

looks like it’s working 😊

it does just work when i type it in the address bar manually, though.
apparently ee is doing the index.php internally.

any switch i have to turn-over in the control panel?

No idea.  It might be your server or the path.php if it was modified.  You’ve just reached the limit of what I know.

Check your admin settings I guess. 😊

alright 😉

thanks for your help, though

i forgot to go to admin -> system preferences -> general configuration and leave the ‘URL to the root directory of your site’ field blank…
