.htaccess rewrite rules doesn't work

Posted on October 27, 2014

Hello, I’ve tried to follow this guide to enable the .htaccess on my server (so my .htaccess is working), but without luck.

Does anyone know where the problem can be?

Here is my htaccess file, it works on my localhost etc.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|resources|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]

It does not work for me even if set AllowOverride All. What else can be a problem?

To remove the .php using .htaccess file, your .htaccess doc should look like this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]

In case you want to remove a .html extension and not a .php replace the last line with this:

RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.html [NC,L]

Finally for beginners, you can create .htaccess files from htaccesseditor.com Using their web interface

Hope this helps ;)

Cheers
