Hello!
Very new to codeigniter and am looking for some help in setting up my system correctly.
Here's my setup:
- Windows Vista
- XAMPP
My document root is C:\xampp\htdocs
Within the document root I have a folder called codeignite which holds all the codeigniter files.
When I run http://localhost/codeignite/ I get the "it's working" page. So far so good. I made a copy of the welcome controller and named it journal and like wise with the view I made a journal_message view.
When I go to http://localhost/codeignite/journal I get redirect back to http://localhost/xampp/.
I enabled mod_rewrite in the httpd.conf file and added a .htaccess file to the C:\xampp\htdocs\codeignite\system\application directory.
The contents are:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
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>
I also removed index.php from the codeigniter config.php file.
I do have a index method in the journal controller so why can't I go to http://localhost/codeignite/journal and see the correct page?
If I'm missing anything then please let me know.
Thank you!

I had the same problem, the following link helped me:
http://codeigniter.com/wiki/mod_rewrite/
I did some things in a slightly different manner than they instructed, but it still worked. So here's a brief summary of what worked for me:
- I didn't use command prompt, I just created my .htaccess file in my normal IDE.
- In the third line of the .htaccess code (from the link above), I changed "RewriteBase /" to "RewriteBase /CodeIgniter/" (will be RewriteBase /codeignite/ in your case)
- Just like they say, open system/application/config/config.php and change $config['index_page'] = "index.php"; to $config['index_page'] = '';
- For windows, open C:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf and uncomment the following line: LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
- Still inside httpd.conf, find a line like the following:
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs">
Inside that section, add the following:
Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride AuthConfig FileInfo
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
(the last two lines of the four are probably already in there)
- Remember to restart apache server
That's it.

Your RewriteBase is wrong. It should be RewriteBase /codeignite/. I'd try changing that before anything else.
