Problem with Index.php and Low Search

Rick Smith 15 Nov 2013 17:00 question, complete

Hello, I removed the index.php using the NSM .htaccess generator.

I tried to add the DirectoryIndex index.php index.html fix but I'm still getting redirected to the home page. There are no index.html files in the root.

# -- NSM .htaccess Generator Start --

# Although highly unlikely, your host may have +FollowSymLinks enabled at the root level,
# yet disallow its addition in .htaccess; in which case,
# adding +FollowSymLinks will break your setup (probably a 500 error),
# so just remove it, and your rules should work fine.

   Under CP Home > Administration > General Configuration, what are your "URL to the root directory of your site" and "Name of your site's index page" settings?
   
   And what is the exact URL of the page you are redirected to when submitting the form?
   
   And can you try it with the native Search form? Do you get the same behaviour there?

   Hello,
   
   The URL root directory is:
   
   http://www.exida-beta.com/
   
   Index page is blank
   
   exact URL I am redirected to is http://www.exida-beta.com/
   
   Tried the Simple Search and get the same problem

   The fact that the Simple Search has the same problem points to an environmental issue outside the scope of Low Search.
   
   I'd suggest using the official method recommended by EllisLab to hide the index.php file: http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/... and see if the helps.
