Install CodeIgniter 4 on shared hosting - jordivid - 01-11-2021
Hi everybody, I'm new to programming with CodeIgniter and am having trouble installing it in a production environment on shared hosting. I know the subject has been dealt with on other posts but still have not found a solution.
I'm trying to install the news sample app used on the CodeIgniter tutorial. I own the domain jordivid.com, where I'm building a portfolio. My root folder is /usr/home/jordivid.me, and documents are placed under /web folder, here I have files for my site and some folders where subdomains are located, the /test folder holds the sample app.
So I created the subdomain test.jordivid.com to test a production install that points to the physical folder /usr/home/jordivid.me/web/test/. After investigating the way to install the app in production here's what did:
- Install all files and folders under the root folder of the subdomain (/usr/home/jordivid.me/web/test/).
- Modify the .env file like this:
...
database.default.hostname = test.jordivid.me
- Move the contents of the /public folder to the document root folder (/test).
- As index.php had moved one folder upwards, I modified the $pathsPath var inside and left it like this:
$pathsPath = realpath(FCPATH . 'app/Config/Paths.php');
- Modified $baseURL var in app/Config/App.php:
public $baseURL = 'http://test.jordivid.me/';
"AH00124: Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace."
After reading the thread https://forum.codeigniter.com/thread-75908.html?highlight=shared+hosting I made a the folder /test.jordivid.me one level up from /test and changed the $pathsPath var to:
$pathsPath = FCPATH . '../test.jordivid.me/app/Config/Paths.php';
The result is the same. I must be doing something wrong or either there's some step I've left. My guess is that I should modify the .htaccess file, which currently is that in the tutorial unmodified, but after looking for some info on it I don't find the solution. Could anyone please help?

The easy way
Don't move content from /public to /test. Set document root for the test.jordivid.com domain as /usr/home/jordivid.me/web/test/public

Thanks for your answer, I did that.
Unfortunately the result is the same, I keep getting "AH00124: Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects ...." when trying any route.

Check for .htaccess in the public directory
RE: Install CodeIgniter 4 on shared hosting - jordivid - 01-14-2021
It's there, it's the .htaccess unmodified that comes with CI when installed with composer, that is:
Options All -Indexes
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([\s\S]*)$ index.php/$1 [L,NC,QSA]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
ErrorDocument 404 index.php
</IfModule>
My guess is that the solution would be a rule in .htaccess. In development I use XAMMP, I have set up a virtual host whose document root points to /public folder, just as in production the subdomain points to that folder too, in development the app runs ok, so I think the problem is in the server config. But I have not found which rule I could use in this case.

As an experiment, can you create a subdomain outside the web directory and install clean CI there?
RE: Install CodeIgniter 4 on shared hosting - jordivid - 01-14-2021
It is not possible, that is the root folder for the hosting. When I create a subdomain it is placed under jordivid.me/web folder.
RE: Install CodeIgniter 4 on shared hosting - iRedds - 01-15-2021
Could it be that your hosting does not support .htaccess?
RE: Install CodeIgniter 4 on shared hosting - jordivid - 01-15-2021
Finally I've found the solution. Now .htaccess is like this:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
I had the idea to use same settings that a couple Laravel apps on other subdomains are using, since the operations they do are similar, and it works. Now the problem is I can't access database, but if I cant't solve that I guess it would be a subject for another thread.
Thanks for your help.
