Removing index.php from URL cause 404 in yii

The problem

Initial problem: Hi I have a newly made Yii site where I want to remove the index.php from the URL.
Example: "/index.php/site/index" should be "/site/index"

I have been using this http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/guide/1.1/en/topics.url#hiding-x-23x guide but i only receive 404.

I hope that you are able to point a mistake or help me debug this problem!
Please let me know if I have left out any relevant information.

OBS: The "home" page works as intended, other pages are broken.

Status of the problem: It seems like it is an apache/ubuntu problem with mod_rewrite.so

Answer

After help from different people it all works now :D I had to install "rewrit" to get it running, i did that by writing Running a2enmod rewrit The below configuration of my system solved the problem for me, I hope this thread will help others in similar problems.

My system

Server version: Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu)  
Server built:   Nov  8 2012 21:37:45

Apache httpd.conf

<Directory "/var/www/MY_SITE/FOLDER_CONTAINING_YII/">
AllowOverride All
#...
</Directory>
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

This is the entire content of the file

Apache Error Log

File does not exist: /.../htdocs/site, referer: http://.../htdocs/index.php/site/index

I added the dots

Restart Apache

kah@webaalborg:/etc/apache2/sites-available$ sudo service apache2 restart
 * Restarting web server apache2

    <Directory />
            Options FollowSymLinks
            AllowOverride None
    </Directory>
    <Directory /var/www/>
            Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
            AllowOverride None
            Order allow,deny
            allow from all
    </Directory>
    <Directory /var/www/MY_SITE>
            Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
            AllowOverride all
            Order allow,deny
            allow from all
     </Directory>
...

Yii Directory structure:

.htaccess

RewriteEngine on

# if a directory or a file exists, use it directly
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

# otherwise forward it to index.php
RewriteRule . index.php

main.php config file

'urlManager'=>array(
        'urlFormat'=>'path',
        'showScriptName'=>false,
        'caseSensitive'=>false,
        'rules'=>array(
            '<controller:\w+>/<id:\d+>'=>'<controller>/view',
            '<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>/<id:\d+>'=>'<controller>/<action>',
            '<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>'=>'<controller>/<action>',   
        ),
    ),

Try to put this into .htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]

And also remove the line 'LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so' from httpd.conf and enable the rewrite module from command line, executing a2enmod rewrite.

If you are working on Linux(say ubuntu) then go to the path /etc/apache2/sites-available/ there you will find a file named as default, 

    <Directory /var/www/> <--- ***root directory***
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride all <---- ***change this line***
    Order allow,deny
    allow from all
    </Directory>

and i think your problem will resolve.

Thanks.

Do you AllowOverride in your directory directive?

<Directory "/your/path">
AllowOverride All
#...
</Directory>

If not this would explain why your rewrite rules does not work.
