Removing of index.php in CodeIgniter not working in Laragon

I want to remove the index.php from URL in CodeIgniter while using Laragon

I have edited the .htaccess file in CodeIgniter and applied a rule; I also changed the index_page variable to empty string in application/config/config.php.

It, as expected, works completely fine in a web environment setup using WampServer/xampserver but fails when using Laragon.

The problem may be with the Laragon environment but I don’t know how to fix it.

How can I make it work in a Laragon environment? (As Working in Wampserver).

My .htaccess file contains the following code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /myFolder/index.php/$1 [L]
Solution

  • I solved the problem then by getting some help on Laragon community

    The fix is actually simple.

    Laragon is compiled with its httpd.conf set to reject overwrite on the document root.

    To edit this, check the file on

    {LARAGON_ROOT}/bin/apache/httpd{other-version-details}/conf/httpd.conf

    and the file somewhere around line 251 to 278 change AllowOverride to All and restart your Laragon Server.

    That fixes it

    NOTE:

    You have to do settings in your codeIgniter, like your index_page variable should be empty in

    application/config/config.php

    $config['index_page'] = "";

    And the .htaccess file contains the following:

    RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /yourFolderName/index.php/$1 [L]

    If still it doesn't work, find all AllowOverride None in httpd.conf and change them to AllowOverride All. Restart your computer if necessary.
