Hi,

as the title says i moved my ee installation from a subfolder called »cms« to the root directory.

now removing the index.php via

RewriteCond $1 ^(site|about|contact|imprint|jobs|services|site|press|clients|P[0-9]{2,8}) [NC] 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

within .htaccess is not working anymore. it still generates the »index.php«.
Before moving ee it worked well with

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /cms/index.php/$1 [L]

any suggestions to get this to work?
i apparently need to be pointed to the right direction.

oh. and it keeps working if i remove the index.php from the url by hand.

thanks in advance!

You did move the .htaccess file as well, of course? By the way, .htaccess will not prevent index.php from “being generated”, it will only allow acess to it even if it’s not in the URL.

nope. didn’t move htaccess.
it was and is still located in the root directory.

that’s what is a bit strange about this.

thanks for your help.

What do you have in Admin -> System Preferences -> General Config for the index file?

Name of your site’s index page: index.php
should i remove this (empty that field)?

Yes. It’s been that way before, has it not?

Yes, make that empty so that EE doesn’t generate that in your path statements. =)

ok. i noticed that it works without but it »felt wrong«.

igmar: not to my knowledge. i never removed that field.

thank you lisa.

Glad you got it working!
