New site file not found issues - El Forum - 10-26-2008

[eluser]Dahak-II[/eluser]
After having had CodeIgniter thrust upon me at the office, I've grown to like it. I am doing a long-overdue rewrite of my personal site using the new framework as a familiarization exercise.

The obvious must be escaping me.

This will turn out to be a noob issue, but other than getting the default index controller functioning, I can't get any other controllers to function. I get the dreaded Page Cannot Be Found result.

I'm using the newest release, v1.7.0 and my initial set up is pretty plain vanilla. The routes.php file only has one change:

Code:
$route['default_controller'] = "home";

I autoload:

Code:
$autoload['helper'] = array('cookie', 'url', 'html', 'file');

The only significant change to the config.php file is:

Code:
if (stristr(PHP_OS, 'WIN')) {
  $config['base_url']    = "http://127.0.0.1/";
} else {
  $config['base_url']    = "http://dev.thefifthimperium.com/";
}

...since I'm developing it locally on a Windows XP box running IIS and deploying it to a Linux-based Apache machine.

Requesting http://127.0.0.1/ or http://127.0.0.1/index.php works fine, but http://127.0.0.1/index.php/home/index/ or http://127.0.0.1/index.php/home/book/title/ do not, as I expect they should. No other controllers can be called, either.

The controller set up is pretty plain:

Code:
class Home extends Controller {

function Home()
{
    parent::Controller();
}
    
function index() {
    
/* Load models */
  $this->output->enable_profiler(TRUE);
  $this->load->model('Home_model', 'home');

  /* Get required data */
  $data['lightweight'] = $this->home->getWeightiness();
  $data['scrollmethod'] = $this->home->getScrollerMethod();
  $data['random_color'] = $this->home->getRandomColor();

  $data['navBarSource'] = $this->home->buildNavBarSrc( $data );

  $data['maxchaptersearch'] = $this->config->item('maxchaptersearch');
  $data['maxchaptersearchincrement'] = $this->config->item('maxchaptersearchincrement');
  $data['maxpiecesperchaptersearch'] = $this->config->item('maxpiecesperchaptersearch');
  $data['siteroot'] = $this->config->item('siteroot');
  $data['bookroot'] = $this->config->item('bookroot');

  /* Load Views */
  $this->load->view( 'header', $data );
  $this->load->view( 'navbar', $data );
  $this->load->view( 'mainbody', $data );
  $this->load->view( 'footer' );
  flush();
}

function book( $collection ) {

//      echo "[$collection]<br>\n";
  if(is_null($collection)){
    show_404();
  } else {
    /* Load models */
    $this->output->enable_profiler(TRUE);
    $this->load->model('Home_model', 'home');

    /* Get required data */
    $data['lightweight'] = $this->home->getWeightiness();
    $data['scrollmethod'] = $this->home->getScrollerMethod();
    $data['random_color'] = $this->home->getRandomColor();

    $data['navBarSource'] = $this->home->buildNavBarSrc( $data );

    $data['maxchaptersearch'] = $this->config->item('maxchaptersearch');
    $data['maxchaptersearchincrement'] = $this->config->item('maxchaptersearchincrement');
    $data['maxpiecesperchaptersearch'] = $this->config->item('maxpiecesperchaptersearch');
    $data['siteroot'] = $this->config->item('siteroot');
    $data['bookroot'] = $this->config->item('bookroot');

    /* Load Views */
    $this->load->view( 'header', $data );
    $this->load->view( 'navbar', $data );
    $this->load->view( 'mainbody', $data );
    $this->load->view( 'footer' );
    flush();
  }
}

}

Any idea on what simple, blindingly obvious configuration issue I might be missing?

The site behaves the same on the local Windows XP/IIS and remote Linux/Apache servers.

Thanks.

Hi,

You'll likely need to adjust the :

$config['uri_protocol'] = "AUTO"; // maybe PATH_INFO ?

Setting in config.php as well.

Watch for this when deploying to your linux box. I might recommend putting your same switch over this setting as well once you figure out what works.

Thanks, but so far, the local Win XP/IIS server doesn't seem to like any of the available options any better.

What shows up in your $_SERVER array when you dump it with your request for index.php/home/index/ ?

Looking specifically for ['ORIG_PATH_INFO'] or ['PATH_INFO'] to contain these. If they do, you should be able to use those (or where ever it shows up in your $_SERVER array.

I can't get the $_SERVER array when I attempt to directly call a controller, I get page not found.

For the default index, the local box reports ORIG_PATH_INFO = /index.php and URL = /index.php which, when configured, give me CI 404 pages.

I've been trying other globals, with no success yet. Should I be looking for a scrip name or a full URL (ie '/index.php' or 'http://dev.thefifthimperium.com/index.php')?

Thanks.

yea...replace your index.php file with a temporary replacement to do this test. just to capture the url and report the $_SERVER array. We just need to see how IIS is putting things together for you. Then we'll put things back together.

Here are the relavant globals for the local IIS server when requsting the script http://127.0.0.1/this/is/a/test/path/script.php

Code:
SCRIPT_NAME = [ /this/is/a/test/path/script.php ]
PATH_TRANSLATED = [ c:\inetpub\wwwroot ]
REMOTE_ADDR = [ 127.0.0.1 ]
REMOTE_HOST = [ 127.0.0.1 ]
SERVER_NAME = [ 127.0.0.1 ]
APPL_MD_PATH = [ /LM/W3SVC/1/ROOT ]
APPL_PHYSICAL_PATH = [ c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ ]
INSTANCE_META_PATH = [ /LM/W3SVC/1 ]
REQUEST_URI = [ /this/is/a/test/path/script.php ]
URL = [ /this/is/a/test/path/script.php ]
SCRIPT_FILENAME = [ c:\inetpub\wwwroot\this\is\a\test\path\script.php ]
ORIG_PATH_INFO = [ /this/is/a/test/path/script.php ]
PATH_INFO = [ ]
ORIG_PATH_TRANSLATED = [ c:\inetpub\wwwroot\this\is\a\test\path\script.php ]
DOCUMENT_ROOT = [ c:\inetpub\wwwroot ]
PHP_SELF = [ /this/is/a/test/path/script.php ]

I've already tested most of these without success.

And, to make life more interesting, not all of the same globals are provided by the Linux/Apache server.

Thanks for your help.

OK, we can see the correct path is stored in both 'ORIG_PATH_INFO' and 'REQUEST_URI' on your IIS server.

So let's stick with one of those for now.

We'll need to establish why CI will not recognize these.

I'm a little busy at the moment, but that is where we need to turn next.

No problem. Thanks for the time you've already spent.

I've turned on full logging and the local box seems to be generating two unexpected permission denied file-access warnings.

The Linux box doesn't report any logged warnings.

I added some debug logging to the URI library.

When loading the /index.php file, it resolves the URI to the default empty string. Nothing gets logged when the browser fails to load my book() controller.

Put an this statement at line 112 of libraries/URI.php:

echo $_SERVER['ORIG_PATH_INFO'];

The very next line (line 113 should be:

$this->uri_string = (isset($_SERVER[$uri])) ? $_SERVER[$uri] : @getenv($uri);

---

Let's see what get's echo'd
