bypassing the index.php file

i have a wee bit of a problem.

I'm currently working on a website addition to a running site. now the current website is written in a random framework which i was not able to recognize, and because the addition is rather extensive i'm doing it from scratch using CodeIgniter.

now i added my files to the server under and leading file name of 'business.php'. calling my page works well with 'www.mysite.com/business.php' but when i'm trying to call a controller with a CI call like 'www.site.co/business.php/myController' i get an error caused by the server default call to the index.php file first and that has another way of treating URIs.

can anyone please tell me what can i do to bypass the original file?

tnx for the time and help.

Create .htaccess file in your project root directory and paste this...

DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./index.php/$1 [L,QSA]

Next go to "config/config.php"

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Index File
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Typically this will be your index.php file, unless you've renamed it to
| something else. If you are using mod_rewrite to remove the page set this
| variable so that it is blank.
|
*/
$config['index_page'] = 'index.php';

change this to

$config['index_page'] = '';

That's all...

Your URL : 

http://www.stackoverflow.com/index.php/my_controller/my_function/param1/param2

becomes

http://www.stackoverflow.com/my_controller/my_function/param1/param2

Hope this helps!!

ok! :) after some long research i've found an answer.

what i've done was to move the business.php file into a dedicated folder along with the System and Application folders, once that's done i've created a second .htaccess file with the above given code and placed it in the same sub-folder.

and finally, instead of calling to 'mysite.com/business.php/myController' i need to call to 'site.com/business/business/php/myController'

that way BOTH sites work perfectly fine!

another thing though, i'd love it if some one could tell me what code to i need to use in the .htaccess file to change all my long URL to a nicer one, i've tried the common commands but they didn't work.

thank you all so very much for your tries.

If you don't need the index.php page the simplest thing to do would remove it.

The next option is to set the default home/landing page via your .htaccess file. Using this file you can set the homepage to whatever you want.

The code will look something like this DirectoryIndex index.php index.html site-down.php

Change those files names to whatever best suits you and your default page to land on when people come to your site should change.
