How to remove index.php from url in cakephp 2 - cakephp

Question

I have tried commenting this line present in congif/core.php,
// Configure::write('App.baseUrl', env('SCRIPT_NAME'));
But when I hit my url it gives me 404 error.

Answer 1

Make sure you are loading mod_rewrite correctly. You should see something like
#uncomment it by removing leading #
LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/apache2/mod_rewrite.so
Verify that your .htaccess files are actually in the right directories. Some operating systems treat files that start with ‘.’ as hidden and therefore won’t copy them.
#CAKEPHP root .htaccess
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ app/webroot/ [L]
RewriteRule (.*) app/webroot/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
#Cakephp App directory .htacess
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ webroot/ [L]
RewriteRule (.*) webroot/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
#Cakephp webroot directory .htaccess
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
URL_REWRITING

You may fix it with your web-sersver (.htaccess rules for apache, rules in configuration file for nginx).
