Thread

Good afternoon,

I had been running my domain unclegamer.com with EE for a while. I had the .htaccess trick set up to remove the index.php in the URL which worked great. Recently I switched hosts and it no longer seems to be working. I’ve checked with them to make sure that they have mod_rewrite installed and working on the apache server. It has been confirmed they do.

Is there anything I am not thinking of that would cause an identical setup to not work with the .htaccess trick as defined at http://expressionengine.com/wiki/Remove_index.php_From_URLs/ ? The settings at my previous host are identical to this new host, and I’m completely stumped. Any ideas?

The error I’m getting when I removed /index.php/ is “No input file specified.”. When I add in /index.php/ it works as intended.

Thanks!

Do all the pages work, or just the front page? I suspect you need to force query strings.

Yes, the pages work great. The front page loads fine. I just can no longer use the cleaner URL’s removing /index.php/.

But what would cause me to force query strings? What would be missing on an apache server to cause EE to force query strings? If I remember right I’d then have to carry the “?” in all of my URL’s which is what I’m also trying to avoid.

Do pages other than the index work, though?

Yes, only if I manually put in /index.php/ however the entire navigation on the site is based on a working .htaccess file that allowed me to never include /index.php/.

Can you post the contests of your .htaccess file.
