Fixed shared for future reference…. 

This issue was down to me missing the need for a required change to 
system/application/config/config.lc when using .htaccess to hide the index.lc 
page from the URIs structure.

This setting is clearly documented within the config.lc file, in the 'Index 
file'... "If you are using mod_rewrite to remove the page set this variable so 
that it is blank." i.e. 'put empty into gConfig["indexPage”]' ). The config.lc 
file is also mentioned specifically in the user guide section on ‘revIgniter 
URIs: Removing the index.lc file’ 
https://revigniter.com/userGuide/general/urls.html However, the cross-reference 
is for other use cases and their troubleshooting - there’s no specific mention 
of the change required when seeking to hide the index page with the example 
.htaccess file.

Ideally, this use case of the (excellent) docs could be extended slightly to 
close this gap, along the following lines...

"In the above example, any HTTP request other than those for index.lc, images, 
assets, robots.txt, css and js is treated as a request for your index.lc file. 
If you use this method to remove the page, set the Index file variable in your 
application/config/config.lc file so that it is blank."

Best,
Keith
