CodeIgniter 1.7.2 + XAMPP 1.7.3 + .htacess problems - El Forum - 03-26-2010

I've started from a fresh install of both XAMPP and CI.

CI is installed directly into htdocs and CI's index.php is located there. The config.php has been set up with these changes:

Code:
$config['base_url']    = "http://localhost/";
$config['index_page'] = "";

All else in config.php is default.

I have created the blog.php file as described here:
http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/general/controllers.html

http://localhost/ shows the welcome page.
http://localhost/index.php/blog shows "Hello World!"

XAMPP's httpd.conf file has been modified so that all instances of AllowOverride are set to:
Code:
AllowOverride all

This line was already uncommented so it should be active:
Code:
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

I've created a .htaccess file with the following code from
http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/general/urls.html

Code:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

This file has been placed in htdocs as well as the system folder and I have restarted Apache and even rebooted my PC (*irishAccent "did you try turning it off and on again?"). But still show a 404 error when accessing http://localhost/blog/.

I have tried many other various configurations that I have seen around this site and others to no avail. My copy-paste monkeying around has not solved this problem.

Assistance would be greatly appreciated as well as any references to study.

Thanks!

You have to change one little thing in the config.php ( /path/to/ci/system/application/config.php )

Code:
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| URI PROTOCOL
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This item determines which server global should be used to retrieve the
| URI string.  The default setting of "AUTO" works for most servers.
| If your links do not seem to work, try one of the other delicious flavors:
|
| 'AUTO'            Default - auto detects
| 'PATH_INFO'        Uses the PATH_INFO
| 'QUERY_STRING'    Uses the QUERY_STRING
| 'REQUEST_URI'        Uses the REQUEST_URI
| 'ORIG_PATH_INFO'    Uses the ORIG_PATH_INFO
|
*/
$config['uri_protocol']    = "REQUEST_URI";

Works fine here. I'm using Ubuntu + AMP.

Windows XP here...not sure if that matters.

I tried your suggestion but it results in:

http://localhost/blog/ 403 error

http://localhost/index.php/blog/ shows the CI 404 page

Try the others options, like QUERY_STRING!
When i arrive in home i'll look at my config, there i'm using WINDOWS 7.

No luck. I get various effects from the different options, but not showing the necessary page on http://localhost/blog/

Let me see if i understood your directory structure:

Code:
||- htdocs
    |--> system
    |--> user_guide
    |--> index.php

That's it?

[eluser]nickstaroba[/eluser]
That's correct

What about your general .htaccess file?

Code:
<Directory "/some/absolute/path/htdocs">
...
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride FileInfo
...  
</Directory>

Is there inside?
Check if you read this

Try adding RewriteBase \

Also I would create a directory under htdocs like public_html or whatever.

Edit you index.php file make sure that it's pointing to the system and application
folders.

Ok, so I started over with this because XAMPP 1.7.3 was giving me errors from the control panel. One thing I didn't note is that I'm only trying to get this set up on my local environment.

I installed a fresh copy of XAMPP 1.7.0 and created the directory "www" under htdocs as suggested above. I've put the install of CI into this directory so it's localhost/www/index.php, localhost/www/systems, etc.

Again, the config.php is default but for the following two lines:

Code:
$config['base_url']    = "http://localhost/www/";
$config['index_page'] = "";

I followed the tutorial here:
http://codeigniter.com/wiki/mod_rewrite/



I tried the following in the .htaccess file located in "www":

Code:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /www/

    #Removes access to the system folder by users.
    #Additionally this will allow you to create a System.php controller,
    #previously this would not have been possible.
    #'system' can be replaced if you have renamed your system folder.
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
    
    #When your application folder isn't in the system folder
    #This snippet prevents user access to the application folder
    #Submitted by: Fabdrol
    #Rename 'application' to your applications folder name.
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^application.*
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

    #Checks to see if the user is attempting to access a valid file,
    #such as an image or css document, if this isn't true it sends the
    #request to index.php
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
    # If we don't have mod_rewrite installed, all 404's
    # can be sent to index.php, and everything works as normal.
    # Submitted by: ElliotHaughin

    ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>

and

Code:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /www/
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|scripts|css|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]



These are the settings I've tried in httpd.conf

Code:
<Directory "C:/Documents and Settings/Nick Staroba/My Documents/My Work/Web Design/X2/htdocs">
Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride AuthConfig FileInfo
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

and

Code:
<Directory "C:/Documents and Settings/Nick Staroba/My Documents/My Work/Web Design/X2/htdocs">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>


Still getting errors 500 and 404 errors depending on which files I'm using...

Is http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/rewrite/a good place to study up on this?
