Ok, try using the PHP header function to redirect to some random website like Amazon or Yahoo. If that works but redirect to your own application don't work, that is strong evidence that the problem is in your Codeigniter configuration.
Let's go over the installation steps. On your local server and your live server, you have a web document root directory. If you're running Apache on your PC, that's called
htdocs, and if you have the standard $5-8 dollar hosting, that's usually called
public_html or
var_www or something like that.
In your web document root, you create a directory with your application name. Suppose it's called
eshop, so that your visitors can shop at
http://www.example.com/eshop. Now you unzip your
CodeIgniter_2.2.0.zip or whatever version into your
eshop directory.
Now you have a directory tree like this
Code:
public_html
|
+ eshop:cheese:
+ index.php
+ application
+ system
+ license.txt
+ user_guide
In your eshop directory, you can delete
license.txt and
user_guide. Now you should add a file called
.htaccess to your eshop directory. That file should contain:
Code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
If you don't have this file, you will have to specify the index.php file in every URL. Instead of
http://www.example.com/eshop/products/list you would have to have
http://www.example.com/eshop/index.php/products/list.
This may be why your redirects are not working. Can you otherwise navigate your application with no problem?
But anyway, continuing... now upload your actual application files, the ones in your local application directory, to the
eshop/application directory. You should never change anything in
eshop/system, but there are changes to configure in
eshop/application/config. At least you will have to change files
config.php
database.php
routes.php
and possibly
autoload.php
Regarding redirection, the issue is most likely in the
routes.php file.
I hope this info helps you. Let us know how it goes. Good luck!:cheese:
