Removing index.php for Codeigniter (Zeus Server)
Just a quick post – spent a few hours the other night trying to get Zeus Rewrite to play ball so that this:
http://www.example.com/index.php/controller
turned into this:
http://www.example.com/controller
There’s a distinct lack of examples for Zeus rewrite, but here’s what worked for me:
map path into SCRATCH:DOCROOT from /
set SCRATCH:REQUEST_URI = %{URL}
look for file at %{SCRATCH:DOCROOT}%{SCRATCH:REQUEST_URI}
if not exists then look for dir at %{SCRATCH:REQUEST_URI}%{SCRATCH:REQUEST_URI}
if not exists then set URL = /index.php%{SCRATCH:REQUEST_URI}Your mileage may vary; some tweaking may be required for your particular set up. Hopefully this post saves someone some work!

Thank you for your script it work fine on the site but once you login to the admin panel it doesnt work any more
here is another script that work 100%
RULE_0_START:
# get the document root
map path into SCRATCH:DOCROOT from /
# initialize our variables
set SCRATCH:ORIG_URL = %{URL}
set SCRATCH:REQUEST_URI = %{URL}
# see if theres any queries in our URL
match URL into $ with ^(.*)\?(.*)$
if matched then
set SCRATCH:REQUEST_URI = $1
set SCRATCH:QUERY_STRING = $2
endif
RULE_0_END:
RULE_1_START:
# prepare to search for file, rewrite if its not found
set SCRATCH:REQUEST_FILENAME = %{SCRATCH:DOCROOT}
set SCRATCH:REQUEST_FILENAME . %{SCRATCH:REQUEST_URI}
# check to see if the file requested is an actual file or
# a directory with possibly an index. don’t rewrite if so
look for file at %{SCRATCH:REQUEST_FILENAME}
if not exists then
look for dir at %{SCRATCH:REQUEST_FILENAME}
if not exists then
set URL = /index.php?q=%{SCRATCH:REQUEST_URI}
goto QSA_RULE_START
endif
endif
# if we made it here then its a file or dir and no rewrite
goto END
RULE_1_END:
QSA_RULE_START:
# append the query string if there was one originally
# the same as [QSA,L] for apache
match SCRATCH:ORIG_URL into % with \?(.*)$
if matched then
set URL = %{URL}&%{SCRATCH:QUERY_STRING}
endif
goto END
QSA_RULE_END:
Hi, thanks for your solution, wael. The only issue I had was that the customer’s webmail was found at http://www.example.com/webmail – which then threw a not found error. I solved this by creating a subdomain pointing to webmail – this did the trick for me.
Thanks for your solution!
Thanks for this script, I have had endless problems with Zeus Rewrite in the past.
