Problem removing index.php from URLs
How Do I?
4 years ago
Hi, I ‘m in the middle of transferring a 1.x site to 5.3 (upgrading was just a futile nightmare I wouldn’t wish on anyone).
I’ve followed directions in the documentation to add rewrite rules to remove index.php from URLs. And believe I copied relevant httpd.conf directives from the 1.x httpd.conf which works fine.
But now, although all my non-root urls work fine without index.php, trying to hit / or /index.php (my site entry page) gives me access denied errors. Directories and files are all 775/664 permissions.
My .htaccess:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# Removes index.php from ExpressionEngine URLs
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET.*index\.php [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/system/.* [NC]
RewriteRule (.*?)index\.php/*(.*) /$1$2 [R=301,NE,L]
# Directs all EE web requests through the site index file
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) /index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>These should be the relevant portions of my httpd.conf:
AcceptPathInfo On
ServerName 127.0.0.1
DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/eesite/htdocs
#
# Relax access to content within docroot parent
#
<Directory "/var/www/vhosts/eesite">
AllowOverride None
# Allow open access:
Require all granted
</Directory>
# Further relax access to the default document root:
<Directory "/var/www/vhosts/eesite/htdocs">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks, Mike
