Remove index.php and add www in htaccess Codeigniter

To get Codeigniter running on apache you need a simple .htaccess and config.php setup.

.htaccess

RewriteEngine On# Redirect non-www to wwwRewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]# Remove WWW from the url#RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.(.+)$ [NC]#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]# Optional to redirect trailing slashes#RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]# Point all URI to codeigniter bootstrap except direct access to file or dirRewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-dRewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-fRewriteRule ^ index.php [L]

application/config/config.php

$config['base_url']  = '';$config['index_page'] = '';$config['uri_protocol'] = 'AUTO';

This will produce:

www.site.com/reviews/acticle/3 --> site.com/reviews/acticle/3www.site.com/index.php/reviews/acticle/3 --> site.com/reviews/acticle/3

and also get rid of ?.

To remove index.php from codeigniter:

RewriteEngine onRewriteBase /RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-fRewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-dRewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
