[SOLVED] Apache won't display filename on address bar

mwkemo1 · 06-19-2013, 05:45 AM

Hello to all. I'm having problem with displaying index.php on address bar. If you go to http://www.example.com it will render what ever file is in DirectoryIndex directive, in most cases index.php or index.html, but it will NOT show index.php in address bar. I would like to show filename when some clicks on the link. Not sure how to achieve this. This is my current .htaacess file

Code:

DirectoryIndex	index.php

Options -Indexes

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule .* 404.html [L]

IMHO it's good not showing what the index file is. Anyway if you want to display it you can add the next 2 lines

Code:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/$
RewriteRule .* /index.html [R=301,L]

Thanks for the replay. Almost there. When I refresh the page its just reloading over and over again. In the end my URL looks like this:

Code:

http://example.com/naslovnica.php?naslovnica.php%3fnaslovnica.php%253fnaslovnica.php%25253fnaslovnica.php%2525253fnaslovnica.php%252525253fnaslovnica.php

naslovnica.php is my index.php, translates as homepage.php, that's why I want to show it on address bar.
I'm not sure what's causing the page to refresh over and over again. Don't know if it maters, but my page is Ajax based.

You may add a trailing "?" to stop appending the URI requested in the rewritten URL.
And maybe use another "is not a file" RewriteCond:

Code:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/$
RewriteRule .* /index.html? [R=301,L]

Still doesn't work. Something is wrong with my hosting server settings. I did try this rules on other server and it works. On my hosting server the page just reloads over and over again. I will mark this thread as solved. Thanks for help.

Hmm, check if Multiviews is enabled and disable it with

Code:

Options -Multiviews
