Shortening URL

With this guide you will remove /gisportal/index.php from URL.

1. Apache configuration

Add this to VirtualHost tag for site hosting gisportal (above existing RewriteRules). Adjust your paths if necessary.

#Enable this when shortening gisportal URL
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/gisportal/

#Enable this when shortening gisportal URL and you already used gisportal so you need redirection
#redirect old gisportal links to root
Redirect /gisportal/ /

#allow htaccess
<Directory /var/www/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
</Directory>

Alias /gisapp/ /var/www/html/gisapp/

2. .htaccess

Edit .htaccess in /gisportal/ folder and remove comment to get this:

	RewriteEngine On
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
	RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

If after complete setup you get errors on start screen use this instead of last line

	#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
