Code Igniter gives 404 when accessing pages without index.php - php

Question

I'm getting 404 errors when accessing via:
http://www1.example.me/z/account/login
Although these work fine:
http://www1.example.me/z/index.php/account/login
http://www1.example.me/z/
.htaccess - got it from this website:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
### Canonicalize codeigniter URLs
# If your default controller is something other than
# "welcome" you should probably change this
RewriteRule ^(home(/index)?|index(\.php)?)/?$ / [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/index/?$ $1 [L,R=301]
# Removes trailing slashes (prevents SEO duplicate content issues)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ $1 [L,R=301]
# Enforce www
# If you have subdomains, you can add them to
# the list using the "|" (OR) regex operator
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www|www1) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www1.sherzod.me/z/$1 [L,R=301]
# Enforce NO www
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www [NC]
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www1.sherzod.me/z/$1 [L,R=301]
###
# Removes access to the system folder by users.
# Additionally this will allow you to create a System.php controller,
# previously this would not have been possible.
# 'system' can be replaced if you have renamed your system folder.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
# Checks to see if the user is attempting to access a valid file,
# such as an image or css document, if this isn't true it sends the
# request to index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
# Without mod_rewrite, route 404's to the front controller
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>
Configs:
$config['index_page'] = '';
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'AUTO';
$route['default_controller'] = "home";
UPDATE:
Getting this in error_log:
[Wed Dec 28 17:54:30 2011] [notice] cannot use a full URL in a 401 ErrorDocument directive --- ignoring!
Never mind, fixed it.
Should have been:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ z/index.php/$1 [L]
instead of
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
because the code is inside of z folder. Thanks for visiting. :)

Answer 1

Whilst you have 'solved' your problem in your question, your implementation is actually incorrect.
To correctly implement this you should change the RewriteBase directive rather than pointing your rules specifically at a folder.
In your case
RewriteBase /z/
On a side note, rather than amending your question to say you've fixed it, you should post an answer to the same effect. This prevents the question appearing in unanswered feeds etc.

Answer 2

first you go to config file....
then set $config['index_page'] = ' ';
then create one file with .htacess extension and write below code in that and save in root directory
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|resources|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]

Answer 3

Yes, you can easily remove the index.php from url from .htaccess, please check this url for more detail.
