Yii and .htaccess file on production server

Question

I am new to yii and have some problem in configuring .htaccess file on production server. On localhost : Location of Application : /www/connect_donors/ Default URL that yii provides is, ``` http://localhost/connect_donors/index.php?r=controllerId/functionName ``` We used the urlManager in /connect_donors/protected/config/main.php to configure the SEO friendly url's.. ``` '/' => '/view', '//' => '/', '/' => '/' ``` Now the URL that was working was ``` http://localhost/connect_donors/index.php/controllerId/functionName ``` Then I used the .htaccess file to remove index.php from the above URL. Location of .htaccess is : /connect_donors/.htaccess Following is .htaccess file, ``` RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /connect_donors RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)\?*$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA] ``` URL Chenged…

Accepted Answer

You should not hide index.php like this, read carefully : http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/guide/1.1/en/topics.url#hiding-x-23x

You should set `showScriptName` to false in your main config :

```
'urlManager'=>array(
  .....
  'showScriptName'=>false,
  .....
),
```

And your .htaccess should look like this :

```
RewriteEngine on

# if a directory or a file exists, use it directly
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

# otherwise forward it to index.php
RewriteRule . index.php
```
