Bluehost and ExpressionEngine URL Rewriting

.htaccess URL rewriting in ExpressionEngine suddenly stop with Bluehost PHP upgrade? Try this line in your php.ini file:

cgi.fix_pathinfo=Off

VOILA.

When .htaccess clashes with http auth

removing index.php from expressionengine urls, take II. This time, a client need http auth on a file in their x-cart payment directory. While x-cart and expressionengine coexist nicely, the top-level .htaccess that rewrites index.php out of the urls was clashing with http auth. In this case, a simple addition to .htaccess before the rewrite rule (exclude method, d’oh, more on that later) allowed the http auth to function (prior, it was essentially throwing a 401):

RewriteCond $1 !^(401.shtml) 

carry on.

Completely remove index.php from ExpressionEngine Urls

This came out of a help chat session one night - it has replaced my previous method for removing index.php as it is more robust. Thanks, Kevin, for putting that code together in such a nice blog entry!
