index.php not removing https CodeIgniter

Question

index.php is not removing while i use https but it works for http. What I need to do is my site work properly such as it works on http and https both. Anybody faced same issue help me to fix this.

Ex: In http

http://xyz.mydomain.com/users/login //works fine
http://xyz.mydomain.com/index.php/users/login //works fine

IN https

1) https://xyz.mydomain.com/users/login // 404 page not found
2) https://xyz.mydomain.com/index.php/users/login // works fine

MY htaccess code

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

config.php My base url is set as

$root=(isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) ? "https://" : "http://").$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
$root.= str_replace(basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']), '', $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']);
$config['base_url'] = $root;

why not do `$config['index_page'] = '';` to remove the index.php inclusion in the first place? — iam-decoder, Mar 14 '16 at 07:23
first thing I'd do is check what `$config['base_url']` is set to after you do all of that. something like `print_r($config['base_url']); exit;` — iam-decoder, Mar 14 '16 at 07:25
what's the output of `$config['base_url']` in all 4 of your test cases? — iam-decoder, Mar 14 '16 at 07:29
prefix **http://** http://xyz.mydomain.com/ while i use without https and with https i print https://xyz.mydomain.com/ prefix **https://** — Deepak sharma, Mar 14 '16 at 07:34
You should check if mod_rewrite is enabled for https, also check the `AllowOveride` permissions . Check with your provider or system administrator. This is a server setting issue. The .htaccess is fine. You can also move the mod rewrite to the vhost.conf and ssl.conf. — Timmetje, Mar 14 '16 at 07:36
@Deepaksharma Is this in your local server or live server ?? — Abdulla Nilam, Mar 14 '16 at 07:50

Seems that there is a problem in your host file. If you are using apache, change your host file like;

<VirtualHost *:443>
   ServerAdmin admin@example.com
   DocumentRoot /path
   ServerName xyz.mydomain.com
   ServerAlias www.xyz.mydomain.com

   SSLEngine On
   SSLOptions +StrictRequire
   SSLCertificateFile /path to ssl file/mydomain.crt
   SSLCertificateKeyFile /path to ssl file/mydomain.key
   SSLProtocol TLSv1
    <Directory "/path">
        Require all granted
        Options -FollowSymLinks -Includes -ExecCGI -Indexes
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
    RewriteEngine On
</VirtualHost>

Now chnage your htaccess file like:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   Options +FollowSymLinks
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://xyz.mydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

Happy Coding :)

Thanks @sujeet Kumar in my vhost configuration following were missing **Require all granted Options -FollowSymLinks -Includes -ExecCGI -Indexes AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Allow from all RewriteEngine On ** its working cool. — Deepak sharma, Mar 15 '16 at 09:37
