Should there be an htaccess file? - El Forum - 10-11-2012

Hey! I'm new to CI and just wondering if there should be an htaccess file? I cant get the routing to work by just following the tutorial, and it seems bizarre that there is no htaccess file by default? I didn't think url rewriting was possible without using mod_rewrite?
With routing set to:
Code:
$route['default_controller'] = 'pages/view';
$route['(:any)'] = 'pages/view/$1';I can go to www.mysite.com and I get the correct page. but going to www.mysite.com/pages/view/home I just get a 404.
Am I supposed to create an htaccess file which it just doesn't tell you about in the user guide? (or maybe it does tell you and I just missed it?)
Cheers!

Checkout your app with the following .htaccess
Code:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /your-site-whatever/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^application.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>Should there be an htaccess file? - El Forum - 10-11-2012

Thanks alex! I'll give it a go.
Is that supposed to be a file somewhere in the download that ive missed? or is it just general-knowledge htaccess that everyone manually creates when starting a new projects?

The system/application rules aren't necessary anymore - those folders have their own .htaccess files that deny access.

Good to know. I just started to use my .htaccess file a while ago and copied it from one project to another ^^
