Removing index.php from navigation urls in IIS 8
How Do I?
Expression Engine 2.10.1 Hi,
I’m using CodeIgnitor I have successfully written a rule in web.config which allows the web pages to be reached with friendly urls i.e.
//Working for requests but not for navigation
<rule name="Remove index" stopProcessing="true">
<match url=".*" >
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" >
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" >
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="index.php" >
</rule>www.domainname.com/about works but so does www.domainname.com/index.php/about
I have also edit the config.php wwwroot/system/expressionengine/config
$config['index_page'] = '';Unfortunately the on page navigation still includes /index.php/ in all the links. i.e. www.domainname.com/index.php/about
Can anyone suggest what I can do to remove it and complete this process?
Thanks,
NIgel
The rule I have that works is this:
<rule name="CLS EE" enabled="false" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^(.*)$" ignoreCase="true" >
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll" trackAllCaptures="false">
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" >
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" >
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="abc/index.php?/{R:1}" appendQueryString="false" >
</rule>Note that I have EE installed in a directory called “abc” so you’ll likely have to edit or remove that part.
This may not matter for your installation but my EE config.php file was modified to have this:
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'QUERY_STRING';
