Strange .htaccess behaviour - El Forum - 02-19-2011 [eluser]plasticated[/eluser] In order to track some .mp3 downloads I have created a controller that logs when it is requested and then 301 redirects to the actual file. I have my controller setup like this: website.com/podcast/download/filename.mp3 The uri section 3 is used to query the database and the relevant file is served up. It works fine locally, but when I deploy to my server I get a 404. It appears that this is caused by the query, because if I recode it using the id instead of the filename it works. I am using the standard codeigniter .htaccess from the wiki to hide the index.php page. If I call it with the index.php included it works. Any ideas? Strange .htaccess behaviour - El Forum - 02-21-2011 [eluser]minerbog[/eluser] Its not the first time I've seen this and I myself have had problems with the .htaccess file from the wiki. I use the below file created by Elliot Haughin and it works fine for me. Code: #RewriteEngine on Strange .htaccess behaviour - El Forum - 02-21-2011 [eluser]plasticated[/eluser] Yeah, that doesn't work unfortunately. Very odd... ![]() Strange .htaccess behaviour - El Forum - 02-21-2011 [eluser]minerbog[/eluser] Have you considered it may be something to do with the dot in filename.mp3? I know it seems odd but you never know ![]() Try just calling the filename from the uri segment and adding the .mp3 on in the controller. |
