routing problem - El Forum - 01-02-2010

[eluser]Aviatrix[/eluser]
Hello , I'm trying to build a short uri service with CI just so i can learn CI faster
anyway .. i got stuck at the routing
i hid the index.php then added the following route
Code:
$route['([A-z0-9]{4})'] = "/forward/redirect/$1";

but it just shows my default controller

i also tried with htaccess
Code:
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([A-z0-9]{4})$ /forward/redirect/$1 [NC]
it gives error for not having any passed data
any help is appreciated.
Cheers

I haven't tested it, but try to remove the leading "/" from the forward like this:

Code:
$route['([A-z0-9]{4})'] = "forward/redirect/$1";

From the StackOverflow link: it looks like your CI route setting is getting bypassed entirely by the .htaccess, just so you know.
