Hi,

I'm just wondering, purely for aesthetic purposes and to shorten links that can be quite long, whether it's possible to remove the index.php controller page from the URL?

I believe LimeSurvey is ran on the Yii framework, which I don't have any experience with, but I know that in similar frameworks e.g. Codeigniter, you can remove it like this:

- Step 1: set from: "index.php" => ""

- Step 2: Set in .htaccess:

Hi,
I suppose you talk about the survey url.
I can open a survey by entering " www.myServer.com/ [LS_Installation_folder]/[surveyID]"
or - with a subdomain "survey.myServer.com/[surveyID]"

Or did you talk about something different?

Hi Joffm,

No, the solution to what you describe is simply to install in root folder, which I have done already. What I refer to is the index.php controller page in the URL.

For example, link looks like this:

www.myServer.com/ index.php/[surveyID]


In many frameworks it's possible to remove the index.php from the URL for aesthetic reasons.
