Hi Guys,

I’m having an issue with my freeform template not actually submitting.

I’ve sourced the problem down to the ‘remove index.php’ htaccess script as supplied
on the EE Docs here and as shown below:
```
<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>
```
I’ve removed this script from htaccess and the Freeform templates works 100% correct.

Does anyone alse have this issue or a modification for this?

Many thanks in advance 😊

Regards

Karl

*** Update ***

I tried the following and commented out the following from the above:
```
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
```
And it now seems to work!

I’ve got to the bottom of this now:

I had an exsiting index.html file in the root directory
(from an original flat HTML Build of my site before updating to ExpressionEngine).

This was actually causing the issue, and I’ve now removed the index.html.

All is now working correctly with the Freeform Template. 😊
