CI + Leopard + htaccess - index.php = Impossible?

[eluser]louis w[/eluser]
I am on 10.5.2 and it works fine.

My .htaccess is:

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "index.php/$1" [L]

I took out the / before index.php because I am not serving code igniter at the document root (my index.php is located at http://localhost/something/index.php).

Also, your index_page should be blank.

Code:

$config['index_page'] = "";

Code:

<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
    ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>

This has me believe that your mod_rewrite process isn't working right. I think what you're seeing is the Error document.

Try -
* Removing that directive and see what's going on then
* Turn on debugging in your mod_rewrite block and tail the output

Let us know what you find.

Cheers!

Try downloading and installing MAMP. This is what I use. Out of the box no customization w/ added htaccess.

Well - that'd be kinda like shooting sparrows with a bazooka. :-)

But it kills em

I guess I just do not like to deal with apache config. I used to do it locally, but find it so much easier to manage w/ MAMP for local dev. It was more of a longterm solution, which would also help out the current problem.

I removed it and am still getting the same (CI-generated) 404.

Okay, I installed MAMP.

Now when accessing my local page without index.php I'm getting this:

Code:

An Error Was Encountered
Unable to select the specified database: mydb

I assume that MAMP reset my MySQL databases, hence the error. (luckily no serious stuff in there)

But at least the htaccess now seems to work properly.

Thanks a lot for your help! :coolsmirk:

You need to migrate your db. MAMP uses it's own instance of mysql and apache. Did you do that?
It comes pre-installed with phpMyAdmin which you an access from the start page.

I use MAMP pro... oh man was it worth the money. Mamp by itself is fine too, just didn't have the full set of features I needed.

(I'm also getting some error for a likely misconfiguration of my mysql socket,
which I had solved with my former installation of mysql.)
