Hi, I am using Expressionengine as a cms. I am trying to clean up my url’s by removing the “index.php” file via htaccess.
All is working well except that I cannot remove the question mark. So…
This Works: http://192.241.163.168/index.php?/site/contact-us The Works: http://192.241.163.168/?/site/contact-us This Does Not: http://192.241.163.168/site/contact-us
Could this be a setting in php?
I have tried every variation I can think of in this htaccess file
BEGIN ExpressionEngine Rewrite
RewriteEngine On
Removes index.php from ExpressionEngine URLs
RewriteCond $1 !.(gif|jpe?g|png)$ [NC] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
END ExpressionEngine Rewrite
Thanks

Try adding in this line at the top of your .htaccess file: <br> <br><pre>AcceptPathInfo On</pre>
Make sure you have <code>AllowOverride All</code> in your virtualhost file (in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled).
Thanks Kamal, I did that for the “www” directory. When I try it for the site directory I get an error that changing it back to none solves. Do you think it could it be a permissions error of some sort?
