index.php, .htaccess and config

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
OK, I'm on Apache 2.28, php 5.2.5 and have made the following mods...



I added a file..


/.htaccess...

# Deny OR Allow Folder Indexes.
# Since we disable access to PHP files you
# can leave this on without worries.
# OR better yet, create a .htaccess file in
# the dir you want to allow browsing and
# set it to +Indexes
Options -Indexes

Options +FollowSymLinks

# Set the default file for indexes
DirectoryIndex index.php

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
# mod_rewrite rules
RewriteEngine on

# The RewriteBase of the system (if you are using this sytem in a sub-folder).
RewriteBase /anydomain/

# This will make the site only accessible without the "www."
# (which will keep the subdomain-sensive config file happy)
# If you want the site to be accessed WITH the "www."
# comment-out the following two lines.
# RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.site\.com$ [NC]
# RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://site.com/$1 [L,R=301]

# If a controler can't be found - then issue a 404 error from PHP
# Error messages (via the "error" plugin)
ErrorDocument 403 /index.php/403/
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php/404/
ErrorDocument 500 /index.php/500/

# Deny any people (or bots) from the following sites: (to stop spam comments)
# RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} nienschanz\.ru [NC,OR]
# RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} porn\.com
# RewriteRule .* - [F]
# Note: if you are having trouble from a certain URL just
# add it above to forbide all visitors from that site.

# You can also uncomment this if you know the IP:
# Deny from 192.168.1.1

# If the file is NOT the index.php file
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/northofthweb-com/index.php
# Hide all PHP files so none can be accessed by HTTP
RewriteRule (.*)\.php$ /anydomain/index.php/$1

# If the file/dir is NOT real go to index
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /anydomain/index.php/$1 [QSA,L]

</IfModule>

# If Mod_ewrite is NOT installed go to index.php
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
ErrorDocument 404 index.php
</IfModule>


I changed..

/system/application/config/config.php...

$config['base_url'] = "http://localhost/anydomain/";
$config['index_page'] = "";


I changed..

/system/application/config/routes.php...

$route['default_controller'] = "home";




When I hit http://localhost/anydomain it goes into my controller/home.php file, HTML is displayed and every thing works fine. From this page, I have link which goes to http://localhost/anydomain/page2

My problem is this...

When I hit http://localhost/anydomain/page2, I am expecting it to go into my /controller/page2.php file and the HTML would be displayed as normal, however, the browser only returns the text "index.php"

I view source on the page and the only text inside it is "index.php"

Anybody any ideas why this is happening?

In your config file, try changing uri_protocol to REQUEST_URI instead of AUTO.

Have just tried that and it makes it worse!

If i change it to REQUEST_URI, it won't even load my home page. I also tried PATH_INFO and ORIG_PATH_INFO.

This is such a shame as I really want to start using CI but after a fresh install, 2 controllers and 2 views, I can't even get the most basic of basic functionality working.

All I want to do is lost the index.php/ from the URL.

Surely this should be something very basic and easy to change (if not already set up by default)?
