Troubleshooting OwnCloud index.php

Sometimes OwnCloud includes “index.php” in the shared links.  It’s annoying and ugly.  Here’s some things to check:

  1. Is mod rewrite enabled in the apache config?
    <Directory /var/www/html/owncloud/>
     Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
     AllowOverride All
     Order allow,deny
     Allow from all
     <IfModule mod_dav.c>
      Dav off
      </IfModule>
     SetEnv HOME /var/www/html/owncloud
     SetEnv HTTP_HOME /var/www/html/owncloud
    </Directory>
    
  2. Is the .htaccess correct?  The ###DO NOT EDIT### Section must contain this line (Generally the last line in the IfModule for mod_rewrite
    RewriteRule .* index.php [PT,E=PATH_INFO:$1]
    
  3. .htaccess must also contain this block for the web app to generate URLs without “index.php”
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
      RewriteBase /
      <IfModule mod_env.c>
        SetEnv front_controller_active true
        <IfModule mod_dir.c>
          DirectorySlash off
        </IfModule>
      </IfModule>
    </IfModule>
    

Those are my findings for making sure OwnCloud URLs stay pretty.
