Help rewriting /index.php to /index

[leafypiggy]

Hey y'all,

I'm using mod_rewrite in apache, and I can't seem to get this code to work. FreeNode was unhelpful as usual, seeing as they're all full of themselves and think they know everything and are just plain a pain in the butt.

Anyways: Here's my code.

Mod_rewrite is enabled (a2enmod rewrite), and I'm logging it to /var/log/apache2/rewrite.log (at RewriteLogLevel 9):

Options +FollowSymLinks
Options +Indexes
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]

Nothing's in the log file.

Basically, that script should just take file.php, and make it just file. (in the browser.

Here's what I use on my site and it workes like a charm. It references /[whatever] to [whatever].php and if it can't find it, it shows, in this case, error.php

RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1.php -f
RewriteRule ^/?(.*)$    $1.php 
RewriteRule ^/?error\.php - [L]

Still nothing.. Nothing in rewrite.log either...

Anyone else care to offer their opinion?

Doesn't work on an x10 server either.. so it's not my server that's the issue.

With the help of lemon-tree, I've figured it out.

DirectoryIndex index
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^index.php$ /vizoxidy/index [R]
<FilesMatch index>
        ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>

Copied index.php to index (and deleted index.php)

Then set it to force a particular MIME type to certain files.

Next, we redirected index.php to index.

Then we added a DocumentRoot.

And finally, I went to go rub it in #httpd's face.. but I forgot I was banned from that channel. =/

As an alternative, you can turn on content negotiation with the Apache config line Options +MultiViews.

I'd heard that mentioned in #httpd yesterday...

Didn't work, but lemon-tree and I diagnosed that it was because I had AllowOverride None set in my vhost.. so.. I'll try it.

Edit:

Works! Much simpler than what I did.
