VirtualHost port 8080. apache 2.4 . removing index.php in htaccess - php

Question

This is my Virtual Host:
<VirtualHost *:8080>
ServerAdmin webmaster#dummy-host.localhost:8080
DocumentRoot "D:/test/testpage/"
ServerName testpage
ServerAlias testpage.localhost
ErrorLog "logs/testpage-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/testpage-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
system/host
127.0.0.1 testpage.localhost
httpd.conf in xampp/apache/conf/
Listen 8080
ServerName localhost:8080
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
<Directory />
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
my .htaccess file inside testpage folder
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
and in my application/config/config.php
$config['base_url'] = 'http://testpage.localhost:8080';
$config['index_page'] = '';
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'REQUEST_URI';
the only issue am facing is that index.php, i can access my other pages but it have index.php between base_url() and view.

Answer 1

I suggest trying the following VirtualHost (vhost) directives.
It defines D:/test/testpage/testpage as the pubic root of the site. Both .htaccess and CodeIgniter's index.php should be in this directory.
I've removed the ServerAlias - you don't need it.
I've added explicit directives for the vhost directory
<VirtualHost *:8080>
ServerAdmin webmaster#dummy-host.localhost:8080
DocumentRoot D:/test/testpage
ServerName testpage
ErrorLog "logs/testpage-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/testpage-access.log" common
<Directory D:/test/testpage>
Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
system/host should be
127.0.0.1 testpage
Because you have named the virtual host "testpage" the following should work.
$config['base_url'] = 'http://testpage/';
