codeigniter - what's wrong with my htaccess? - php

Question

I'm trying to build a shopping cart locally using PHP & MySQL. My main directory for my site is /Library/WebServer/Documents. I tried to set it up so that I can access localhost/project without the index.php.
Here's my htaccess:
Options +FollowSymLinks
Options -Indexes
DirectoryIndex index.php
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|resources|images|css|js|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>
My config code (extracted, not the whole thing):
$config['base_url'] = 'http://localhost/project/';
$config['index_page'] = '';
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'REQUEST_URI';
Apparently there's an error with this. Even though I managed to access localhost/project without index.php, I can't view pages generated by my controller code (ex. if I try to go to localhost/project/welcome I get this error message: 'The requested URL /project/welcome was not found on this server.' localhost/project/welcome should take me to the Welcome.php page under my controllers folder.
Here's a snapshot of the file structure
Can someone explain to me what's wrong with my code?

Answer 1

Do you mean without .php?
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]
OR
remove this DirectoryIndex index.php!
It sets the index.php behind the url

Answer 2

Use this .htaccess:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
#Removes access to the system folder by users.
#Additionally this will allow you to create a System.php controller,
#previously this would not have been possible.
#'system' can be replaced if you have renamed your system folder.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
#When your application folder isn't in the system folder
#This snippet prevents user access to the application folder
#Submitted by: Fabdrol
#Rename 'application' to your applications folder name.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^application.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
#Checks to see if the user is attempting to access a valid file,
#such as an image or css document, if this isn't true it sends the
#request to index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
# If we don't have mod_rewrite installed, all 404's
# can be sent to index.php, and everything works as normal.
