Hiding "index.php" at url in "YII" when using "https" does not work

Question

here i am stuck with a small problem. I have a site built in Yii framework. It runs without any problem with http protocol (the index.php in url is hidden and all urls work fine). I have hosted this in amazon ec2 services. i have the following lines in my .htaccess file

Options +FollowSymLinks

IndexIgnore */*
RewriteEngine on

# if a directory or a file exists, use it directly
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

# otherwise forward it to index.php
RewriteRule . index.php

but when i use https to browse the site (note: i have it all configured) , the home page loads normally. but the other urls does not work and requires /index.php/ to be added. what am i missing here?

dying for answers.

thanks in advance.

To get mod_rewrite working not only mod_rewrite must be installed, but also check in the Apache directory config (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default on Ubuntu installed via apt-get) if the rule "AllowOverride None" exists in your project's directory config. If so, change it to "AllowOverride All".

#
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
# It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
#   Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
#
**AllowOverride All**

mod_rewrite can be installed by remove comment from this line

#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
