Can we alter the .htaccess file in the lionDemo directory so that

How do we do that?

Thanks for the reply but how do i get this to work? the script in the htaccess says this:

Code:

#Security options:
Options +FollowSymLinks
Options -Indexes

<Files ~ "\.(txt|ini|inc|xml)$">
Deny from all
</Files>

############ Rewrite Engine ##############
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On
  #fix the following directive if you experience problems with url redirections:
  RewriteBase /LionDemo

  #Skip routing for existent requested files/directories:
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR] 
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d  
  RewriteRule .* - [L]

  #Redirect the rest of requests to the index.php:
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

what is the best possible solution please suggest..

Greatful

Better than that, if you are using lion framework, my recommendation is to avoid change the .htaccess: Lion framework brings his own url routes engine, so you are able to define your own url alias, where to route request, ... within the config/routes.xml file (see http://lionframework.org/documentati...uting.pkg.html for more details about routes)

So, to produce the same result with http://localhost/LionDemo/ and with http://localhost/LionDemo/index.action, you can create a rule within the routes.xml like the following one:

Code:

            <route id="index" uri-pattern="^\/$">
              <front-controller class="__HttpFrontController"/>
              <action controller="index" code="default"/>
            </route>

(not sure if "^\/$" or "^\/LionDemo\/$". Well, in any case, the uri-pattern allows you to define a regular expression matching whatever route you need to handle)

So, with this rule, you are telling the lion framework that your route as '/' will be redirected to the index controller (default action), which is the same controller/action that you are executing by ussing the index.action within the url.

That's all.

Sir,

I tried both the ways ("^\/$" or "^\/LionDemo\/$") for running

http://localhost/LionDemo/

but the url returned as

mhtml:http://localhost/Liondemo/

saying internet explorer cannot display the webpage.

Please guide me through as i need to turn it in the earliest.

Try with just "\/$" within your route.
