Remove Index.php from URL in PHP CodeIgniter in Fedora 16 server

Question

My web application doesn't work without index.php in URL. It has been working in my previous Laptop (OS: Ubuntu 10.10). In my new laptop, in OS Fedora 16 it doesn't work. I did all the checking like .htaccess, cofig.php etc. Other application rather than CodeIgniter framework like PHPMyAdmin, work fine. Following is my .htaccess code.

# Options
  Options -Multiviews
  Options +FollowSymLinks

 #Enable mod rewrite
 RewriteEngine On
 #the location of the root of your site
#if writing for subdirectories, you would enter /subdirectory
RewriteBase /barj

#Removes access to CodeIgniter 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

#This last condition enables access to the images and css
#folders, and the robots.txt file
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt|css)

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]

in the config.php, I have the following conf

$config['index_page'] = "";
$config['REQUEST_URI']  = "AUTO";

Please give me any idea to resolve the issue.

Answer 1

Please check in appache configuration file that mod_rewrite module is enable or not.

You can check it by following command.

echo phpinfo();

If it is not enabled, enable it.

Answer 2

First try out this minimal code. It is working fine for me.

# Customized error messages.
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php

# Set the default handler.
DirectoryIndex index.php

# Various rewrite rules.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>
