In my last article we discussed about the “Add
tool to reset locked feeds in Drupal 7“. If you would have work with PHP
MVC frameworks you can find most of them are receiving all user requests via
front access file like index.php. For example in CodeIgniter, Cygnite
Framework, Yii using index.php, for Symfony app_dev.php etc. You may be wondering
how to remove this index.php file from url to make it more seo friendly. Today let me
show you all how to remove index.php from the url and display more user
friendly url to users using .htacces.
Step1: Create a new file named .htaccess in the same folder as your site’s main
index.php file.
Step2: Please make sure that mod_rewrite is on in
your server using phpinfo();
Step3: Add the following lines of code in the newly created file-
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L] # RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L] </IfModule>
Step4: Test your site links and url without index.php to ensure
it is working correctly without index.php
