Link structure duplicates with index.php about yii2-app-basic HOT 6 CLOSED

It will be documented on how to achieve it using a webserver at least.

Working solution for 301 redirect:
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET.index.php [NC]
RewriteRule (.?)index.php/(.) /$1$2 [R=301,NE,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]

The only downside to this solution is that it redirects http://example.com/index.php/non-existing-url to http://example.com/non-existing-url instead of just showing 404. So I guess, more correct solution would be to do it on framework level. Or we can return 404 on server level, instead of 301 redirect for these cases.

Working solution for 404:
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET.index.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^ - [L,R=404]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]

I guess, to redirect to pages without index.php or throw 404 exception. That's up to debate.

you could set up your .htaccess file to do this.

you could set up your .htaccess file to do this.

I guess. I just wanted to know if yii developers are aware of this. And maybe you should do something about it or not.

For example, you can setup removing/adding slashes in htaccess, but recently you released url normalizer which does this. So maybe something would be done on yii core level to remove index.php.

If not, and you guys don't consider it a bug, I suppose I would just find a solution for htaccess and use it in all my projects. Though probably, I can then write it here and it can be added to setup manual, for both htaccess and nginx config.

@samdark Do I understand correctly that this will be fixed?

Made an adjustment to the htaccess file in the guide, with a rule that works on / as well as subdirectories. Thanks for reporting and the solution!
