The minumum rights to allow a .htaccess to work are

Code:
AllowOverride FileInfo

To test if your .htaccess is picked up at all, create a syntax error. If Apache processes it, it will complain about it.

hi

[quote author="pickupman" date="1284403468"]Have you allowed .htaccess files in your apache config? Not in ubuntu right now, but I believe it's /etc/apache2/conf/httpd.conf (or site-default).

You need to have

Code:
AllowOverride All

By default this will be set to None.

That's strange, my

Code:
httpd.conf

file is located at

Code:
/etc/apache2/httpd.conf

(full path), but it's an empty file?

</del>

forget that! I'm told that The Debian and hence Ubuntu apache2 used apache2.conf, not httpd.conf.

And here's a snippet from apache2.conf

Code:
#

# AccessFileName: The name of the file to look for in each directory

# for additional configuration directives.  See also the AllowOverride

# directive.

#

AccessFileName .htaccess

No AllowOverride directive listed though?

Quote:The apache error means it's not getting to CI. CI has it's own 404 error. Out of curiosity what happens if you remove the leading / from /index.php in your .htaccess? Or better yet, try using just this in .htaccess

Code:
RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

In your example above, are you referring to a new .htaccess file as:

Code:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

    RewriteEngine On

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

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

<IfModule>

specifically?

Yes, try the simple .htaccess file. And you are right, I wasn't on my laptop so I had forgotten the correct path to the conf file. You may also find the directive in /etc/apache2/conf/sites-default. Try the simpler less secure AllowOverride All if you are working local. Make things the easiest to get up and running, and then you can work on increasing security later.

hi

I now have:

Code:
Alias /manual /usr/share/doc/apache2-doc/manual/

<Directory "/usr/share/doc/apache2-doc/manual/">

    Options Indexes FollowSymlinks

    AllowOverride All

    Order allow,deny

    Allow from all

    AddDefaultCharset off

</Directory>

in my

Code:
apache2-doc

file, full path

Code:
etc/apache2/conf.d/apache2-doc

, I had to change the AllowOveride to All.

And, my .htaccess file is as:

Code:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

    RewriteEngine On

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

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

<IfModule>

but still, the page wont load! :O

That's not the right path.

Code:
etc/apache2/conf.d/apache2-doc

It's in

Code:
/etc/apache2/sites-available/default

I'm now editing the 'default' file, located as above. Following my edits, the file now looks like:

Code:
<VirtualHost *:80>

    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

    DocumentRoot /var/www

    <Directory />

        Options FollowSymLinks

        AllowOverride All

    </Directory>

    <Directory /var/www/>

        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

        AllowOverride All

        Order allow,deny

        allow from all

    </Directory>

    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/

    <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">

        AllowOverride All

        Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch

        Order allow,deny

        Allow from all

    </Directory>

    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log

    # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,

    # alert, emerg.

    LogLevel warn

    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined

    Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"

    <Directory "/usr/share/doc/">

        Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks

        AllowOverride None

        Order deny,allow

        Deny from all

        Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128

    </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

I save the changes, restart Apache, and run the script to get:

Code:
Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@localhost and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Apache/2.2.14 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80

Upon reading the server error.log file, i see:

Code:
[Mon Sep 13 16:51:59 2010] [alert] [client 127.0.0.1] /var/www/CodeIgniter/.htaccess: <IfModule> directive requires additional arguments

Doe's this mean (my guess) we should go back to the original .htaccess file?

Just use what I posted once, without the <IfModule>.

Yay, success!! My last clean install was on a Windows box, bit more tricky with Linux. Smile

Many thanks to the Lab and Research technicians... Smile

Glad you got it working. It's not so much CI, but getting apache set up right. Thankfully this got alot easier in ubuntu with 10.04.
