无法上传htaccess文件

Question

I am trying to upload my new website (codeigniter project) to the server. .htaccess file is used in my project and it is working properly in localhost. Also, i can upload the file too, but after uploading, it is not working. I always need to add the 'index.php' in url. I can't see the .htaccess file and when i trying to upload it again, it is showing the message, the file is alredy exist. Do anyone know the reason?

Answer 1

Try using FileZilla and enable hidden files to be visible:

1. Open FileZilla FTP client.
2. From the Menu bar choose Server
3. Select Force Showing Hidden Files which should be the last option.

One other thing to check is if you're using Apache or Nginx because Nginx does not support the .htaccess file
