Enable clean URL in Yii2

Question

How can I enable clean urls in Yii2. I want to remove index.php and \'?\' from url parameters. Which section needs to be edited in Yii2 for that?

Answer 1

What worked for me-
create a .htaccess at root folder of my Yii2 project, and added following-

    Options +FollowSymlinks
    RewriteEngine On



    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/.*
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ web/$1 [L]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/web/
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^.*$ web/index.php

Created new .htaccess file web folders with following content:

frontend/web/

and added following-

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . index.php

Then added urlmanager here-

projectFolder/common/config/main.php

For me it was not there, so added this as-

'urlManager' => [
    'class' => 'yii\web\UrlManager',
    'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
    'showScriptName' => false,
   /* 'rules' => [
        '/' => '/view',
        '//' => '/',
        '/' => '/',

    ],*/
],

Make sure this code must be in 'components' => [].

Restart my server and everything works fine.
