Routing is my weak point, Im still not clear how it works although I read the docs many times. Anyhoo.

This is my .htaccess file

Code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|assets|woff|eot|img|css|js|resources|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>

This is my controller:

Code:

class Tlc extends CI_Controller
    public function view($page='index')
    {
        if ( ! file_exists(APPPATH.'/views/tlc/'.$page.'.php'))
        {
            // Whoops, we don't have a page for that!
            show_404();
        }
         else
         {
            $this->load->view('tlc/templates/header.php');
            $this->load->view('tlc/'.$page);  
            $this->load->view('tlc/templates/footer.php');  
        }

And this is my routes.php

Code:

$route['default_controller'] = "tlc/view";
$route['/([a-z]+)'] = "tlc/view/$1";
$route['404_override'] = '';

I have my view files in views/tlc folder.

When you go to main page deltadigital.ca - everything is fine, but when you click deltadigital.ca/about-us or other similar menu items it doesnt work. It only works with full url i.e.

http://deltadigital.ca/index.php/tlc/view/about-us

I just compared with your rewrite rules with the ones that I am using. This particular line, I am using $0 instead of $1

RewriteRule .* index.php?/$0 [PT,L]

Can you try this and see if it works?

[lexxtoronto]

Nope, still doesn't work, but thanks anyway as I at least I know where to look for a problem. I tried this:

Code:

RewriteRule ^(.*)/index/?$ $1 [L,R=301]

And instead of 500 server it's just giving me my webhost 404 page, which is a good sign I guess.

I'm using _remap instead of custom routes with routes.php, this method give me more wave of customization.

[lexxtoronto]

Thanks, I will have to look into that. But for now I guess I will just read more on rewrite rules.

Still can't make it work. What are my options now? Do I just hardcode it in .htaccess similar to this?

Code:

RewriteRule    ^pet-care/?$    pet_care_info_01_02_2008.php    [NC,L]

You original .htaccess should be fine.

In your routes, though, the second one doesn't look quite right:

Code:

$route['/([a-z]+)'] = "tlc/view/$1";

You may want to remove the slash (/) in the route key:

Code:

$route['([a-z]+)'] = 'tlc/view/$1';

or to :any:

Code:

$route['(:any)'] = 'tlc/view/$1';

[lexxtoronto]

Thank you, but still no luck. I tried both:

Code:

$route['([a-z]+)'] = 'tlc/view/$1'; and $route['(:any)'] = 'tlc/view/$1';

And also tried removing it altogether, doesnt work.

Also if I use the rewrite rule without a leading slash its giving me 500 server error

Code:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L,QSA]

If I use it with a slash its giving me my webhosts 404

Code:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$/index.php?/$1 [L,QSA]

I tried other modifications of this rule online and it would give me CI 404 page.

It was a problem with 1and1 host. So FIY 1and1 not good for Codeigniter. I tried a different host and it works just fine. I can't believe I wasted so much valuable time.
