I recently took over from another developer and I'm having some trouble with my .htaccess breaking my admin control panel.
My .htaccess file is as follows:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^case-studies/(.*) /articles-case-studies/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
<FilesMatch "\.pdf$">
header set x-robots-tag: noindex
</FilesMatch>
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# Removes index.php from ExpressionEngine URLs
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET.*index\.php [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/system/.* [NC]
RewriteRule (.*?)index\.php/*(.*) /$1$2 [R=301,NE,L]
# Directs all EE web requests through the site index file
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/php-fpm/*
</IfModule>
which does effectively remove index.php from my urls. The problem I'm having is when I try to log into the back end control panel at:
www.example.com/admin
the page just gets stuck in an infinite redirect loop. What I've noticed is that without removing index.php? when I try to login to www.example.com/admin it redirects to
www.example.com/admin/index.php?/cp/login&return=
What am I missing?
Edit:for grammar mistakes
