Cannot remove index.php from url CI based site

Question

I have Code Igniter based site and I have it on ubuntu 12.04 in /var/www/mysite folder My ubuntu serves as a server so I access my site trough other computer, but both computers are on LAN network. I use http://xxx.yyy.zzz.ttt/mysite url to access it.

The problem I have is that I cannot use url without "index.php" in it. So I have http://xxx.yyy.zzz.ttt/mysite/index.php/phpinfo To acces my controller phpinfo instead of http://xxx.yyy.zzz.ttt/mysite/phpinfo

I have cheked well that mod_revrite works well with this here And also checked that the folder, files and subfolders in mysite have all 777 file permissions.

I also added all necessary rules in .htaccess file but still no success

Any idea what is causing this.

What do you have in .htaccess (for DirectoryIndex)? Have you restarted the web server? — keaton_fu, Jul 20 '12 at 14:05
Have you read the documentation regarding removing index.php. Once you've added your .htaccess file, you will need to tell CI to stop adding index.php to the links. — Gavin, Jul 20 '12 at 14:07
Yeah I copied all the lines for removing index.php from url but still the same. — Vlad, Jul 20 '12 at 14:17

The first thing I would do is make sure you followed all of the CI instructions.

It may be that you did not update the config file to be a blank string rather than using index.php

You mean this $config['index_page'] = ''; It is empty – Vlad Jul 20 '12 at 14:13
Like Keaton said above, have you restarted your apache? – Dameo Jul 20 '12 at 14:17

Do you know what was the issue.

The default file in sites-available had option

AllowOverride None for /var/wwww

I set it to All and it worked out. :)

cheers :)
